近远场变换中探头方向图的改进与比较

基于进一步提高国内平面近场测量中的副瓣精度,将两种新的探头H面方向图应用到近远场变换中,并与国内目前搭建近场测试系统所使用的两种探头方向图进行结果分析与比较。通过在微波暗室对某频段阵列天线测量,并分别用传统的Stratton-chu积分法、E面电场法以及边缘电流法与边缘电流逼近法进行近远场变换。结果表明,新的探头方向图应用使副瓣测试精度基本接近国际先进水平,远远优于国内现有水平,具有很强的工程实用性。

Comparison and Improvement of Probe Patterns in Near-to-Far Field Transformation

In order to improve the sidelobe precision in PNF,two new H-plane probe patterns were used in the near-to-far field transformation.The results were analyzed and compared with other two traditional H-plane probe patterns.An array antenna was measured in anechoic chamber.Two traditional methods which are Stratton-chu integral and the E-field integration method and two new methods which are the fringe current and the fringe current approaching method were used in the near-to-far field transformation.The results indicate that the sidelobe precision achieved by the two new methods is close to the international advanced level and is much higher than present level at home.Also,the method is proved to be practical.
