Technique for Tuning Antenna Systems Producing Negligible Signal Radiation

摘要

The document describes a technique for tuning antenna systems producing negligible signal radiation in an operational environment. The technique uses an RF sweep generator, connected in a back-to-back configuration (sweep generator output connected to sweep generator input) to simulate transmissions over the entire frequency range of the antenna receiving system. The unit oscilloscope observes the induced voltage standing waves of all frequencies sent down the transmission line and traces the pattern characteristics. A marker generator (single-signal CW type) identifies frequency points along the waveform displayed on the oscilloscope. (Author)
