Abstract

An apparatus for studying the electromagnetic behavior of an electromagnetic wave-emitting or electromagnetic wave-receiving tool is provided. An anechoic chamber is configured to receive the tool as well as a person handling the tool. At least one analysis antenna is configured to pick-up the electromagnetic waves emitted from or received by the tool. Signals outputted by the analysis antenna are processed, and a radiation diagram associated with the electromagnetic tool is displayed. The radiation diagram is displayed inside the anechoic chamber so that the person handling the electromagnetic tool observes how the handling of the tool affects its electromagnetic behavior.
