Abstract

A high-frequency measuring enclosure for measuring large test objects is formed by an air-supported membrane or textile construction of a spherical or ellipsoidal contour, which is substantially pervious to electromagnetic radiation. For absorption of residual electromagnetic radiation that may be reflected by the interior of the surface, the floor is covered with absorber material.

Claims (9)

1. A high-frequency measuring system for measuring large test objects, said measuring system comprising:

an enclosure formed by air-supported dome construction; and

high frequency measuring apparatus situated at least partially within said enclosure, said measuring apparatus directing high frequency electromagnetic measuring radiation to a measuring zone within said enclosure; wherein,

the air supported construction is made of one of a membrane and a textile material; and

said air supported construction is substantially pervious to said electromagnetic measuring radiation;

said dome construction has a surface contour such that residual measuring radiation that is reflected by an interior of the dome construction is guided primarily to a floor of the enclosure;

for absorption of said reflected residual measuring radiation, the floor of the high-frequency measuring enclosure is covered at least partially with an absorber material.

2. The high-frequency measuring system according to claim 1 , wherein the high-frequency measuring enclosure has a least one lock for bringing in large test objects.

3. The high-frequency measuring system according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one lock for the access by persons.
