A new far field measurement method for antenna polarization characteristics based on calibrator target

Abstract

A new far-field measurement method of antenna is studied in this paper. The received signal model of antenna's beam scanning the calibrator target has been built and the measurement method is considered. The full analysis formula and practical procedure was given. The validity of research work was demonstrated by processing the observational data and simulation. This can greatly reduce the development complexity and production cost of far field test, increased the fidelity at the meanwhile.
