Characterization of Electrically Small Radiating Sources by Tests Inside a Transmission Line Cell

摘要

An electrically small radiating source of arbitrary nature may be modeled by an equivalent dipole system consisting of three orthogonal electric dipoles and three orthogonal magnetic dipoles, each excited with arbitrary phase. An experimental procedure for determining the emission characteristics of such an equivalent dipole system by tests inside a single-mode transmission line cell is described in this report, followed by some experimental results.
