摘要
由于严峻的环境限制和远场测量距离长达几公里的要求,有必要利用室内测试的现代航天器天线。为此,分析、定义并实现了一种圆柱形近场试验装置。介绍了圆柱形近场测试的原理和设备的主要特点。该设施将用于测试德国直接广播卫星电视- sat /1/的天线模块。
A Cylindrical Near-Field Test Facility for Large Satellite Antennas
Due to severe environmental constraints and the requirement for farfield measurement distances up to several kilometres it is a necessity to utilize in-door testing for modern spacecraft antennas. For this reason a cylindrical near field test facility has been analyzed, defined and implemented. The principle of cylindrical near field testing and the main characteristics of the facility are presented. The facility will be used for the tests of the antenna module of the German direct broadcasting satellite TV-SAT /1/.
