Overview of Antenna Measurement Techniques

Accurate antenna measurements are crucial to the success of phased array, direction finding, and communication systems. Methods of measuring these antenna patterns have unique properties in terms of accuracy, cost, time, and complexity. A summary will be given of principal measurement methods and some of the practical pitfalls of each. This will include an overview of antenna measurement theory and practical considerations regarding designing and executing antenna range measurements. Standard far-field measurements as well as planar, cylindrical, and spherical near-field measurements will be covered.
