MEASUREMENT OF RADIATION PATTERN OF LINEAR ARRAY ANTENNAS

摘要

The present disclosure relates to method for measurement of radiation pattern of a linear array antenna. The disclosed method provides for the measurements in Reactive Region of the antenna field and can be implemented at bench level at any location without microwave absorbers around antenna and does not require an Outdoor far field Test Range or an Indoor Near Field Test Range. Thus the disclosure provides an easy and cost effective method for measurement of radiation pattern of a linear array antenna that does not require elaborate infrastructure, takes less time and saves human efforts. The disclosed method provides stable readings in reactive field wherein the probe is proximity coupled to the radiating elements in the array for measurement of the field.
