Uncertainty analysis of far field antenna factors using amplitude center modified equation

Abstract

We have developed a far field antenna factor estimation method for broadband antennas. Our using method determined the far field antenna factor using amplitude center modified antenna factor estimation equation. The expanded uncertainty (k = 2) of log-periodic dipole array antennas was estimated to be from 0.07 dB to 0.27 dB over the frequency range from 300 MHz to 1200 MHz.
