Description
Summary:Giga-Hertz Transverse Electromagnetic (GTEM) cell is a simpler and cheaper alternative to the full-scale anechoic chamber. It is an equipment of choice in a lot of partial discharge (PD) research, especially for antenna validation. According to a good practice the cell must be validated, or also known as calibrated, for its usability. The calibration term means validating the uniformity of electrical field produced at the point of measurement. This paper introduced a verification technique to be used to validate the integrity of input and response signals. This step is essential so that the reproducibility of the experiment is warranted and also to support the calibration analysis result. It was found that the input and response signals were reproducible and consistent. The calibration analysis on the existing bespoke GTEM showed that electric field uniformity at the prescribed area of testing complied with an established practice. Therefore, the GTEM cell can be used to conduct related experiment.
