Probe correction of spherical near-field measurements 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Probe correction has been implemented in a computer program which calculates antenna far fields from spherical nearfield measurements. The computer program has been applied to near-field measurements on a satellite model, and the accuracy of the computed far field is significantly improved, compared with the results obtained without probe correction. 相似文献

A new spherical near-field measurement system, dedicated to personal-communications applications, has been installed at e-tenna Corporation. The system, sold by Satimo, uses an electronically scanned probe array, and offers a dramatic reduction of the measurement time (by a factor ranging from 60 to 1,000) with respect to conventional mechanical scanners. This test range has undergone extensive acceptance testing, which has verified the specified measurement accuracy. The speed of the system, combined with the availability of full-sphere measurement data, enables rapid measurement of antenna efficiency. The system also enables the measurement of other parameters, such as the percentage of radiated power dissipated into the body of a human test subject operating a cellular telephone 相似文献

A novel approach to reducing the multiple reflections between the test antenna and the probe in near-field antenna measurements is proposed. Instead of absorbers, this approach makes use of a skirt on the probe to shield against the mounting structure behind the probe. 相似文献

Microwave diagnosis of antennas is considered as a viable tool for the determination of reflector surface distortions and location of defective radiating elements of array antennas. A hybrid technique based on the combination of the spherical near-field measurements and holographic metrology reconstruction is presented. The measured spherical near-field data are first used to construct the far-field amplitude and phase patterns of the antenna on specified regularized u -v coordinates. These data are then utilized in the surface profile reconstruction of the holographic technique using a fast-Fourier-transform (FFT)/iterative approach. Results of an experiment using a 156-cm reflector antenna measured at 11.3 GHz are presented for both the original antenna and the antenna with four attached bumps. Several contour and gray-scaled plots are presented for the reconstructed surface profiles of the measured antennas. The recovery effectiveness of the attached bumps has been demonstrated. The hybrid procedure presented is used to assess the achieved accuracy of the holographic reconstruction technique because of its ability to determine very accurate far-field amplitude and phase data from the spherical near-field measurements 相似文献

The theory of near-field measurements for antenna practitioners is summarized, and the measurement procedures in three coordinate systems, namely rectangular, cylindrical, and spherical are outlined. Specific topics include probe characterization, measurement systems, data reduction, and attendant accuracies. The results of recent studies are also summarized, and some brief remarks on future applications of near-field measurements in the laboratory, the production line, and in field testing and evaluation conclude the paper. 相似文献

Basic theory of probe-compensated near-field measurements 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
The general problem concerning the interaction of a probe antenna with the near field of an arbitrary antenna is considered. The application of the Lorentz reciprocity theorem to the problem of determining antenna characteristics, including the far-field pattern, is presented. The data required to correct for the directional effects of the probe, the effect of probe correction on the measured data, and the attendant mathematical computations in rectangular systems are described. Extensions to cylindrical and spherical systems are discussed. 相似文献

An overview of near-field antenna measurements 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
After a brief history of near-field antenna measurements with and without probe correction, the theory of near-field antenna measurements is outlined beginning with ideal probes scanning on arbitrary surfaces and ending with arbitrary probes scanning on planar, cylindrical, and spherical surfaces. Probe correction is introduced for all three measurement geometries as a slight modification to the ideal probe expressions. Sampling theorems are applied to determine the required data-point spacing, and efficient computational methods along with their computer run times are discussed. The major sources of experimental error defining the accuracy of typical planar near-field measurement facilities are reviewed, and present limitations of planar, cylindrical, and spherical near-field scanning are identified. 相似文献

Spatial sampling and filtering in near-field measurements 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A sample spacing criterion and a data minimization technique for measurements made over the surface of a plane in the near field of an antenna are presented. The sample spacing is shown to depend on the distance from the antenna to the measurement plane, and on the extent to which evanescent waves can be neglected. The near-field data minimization technique utilizes two-dimensional spatial filtering to effect a significant reduction in computational effort required to calculate selected portions of the far-field pattern. Far-field patterns of anX band antenna calculated from near-field measurements are presented and compared with those measured on a standard far-field range. The far-field calculations are repeated for several near-field sample spacings and for various post-filter sample rates. 相似文献

Recent experimental results on determination of antenna pattern and power gain from near-field measurements are described. Two new antenna measurement theorems were applied. Measurements were made on an electrically large horn lens, a standard-gain horn and a nominal duplicate of the measuring antenna. Some comparisons with direct far-field measurement results were made. 相似文献

Plane wave spectrum scattering analysis of near-field obstacle effects on directive antenna patterns
《Antennas and Propagation, IEEE Transactions on》1979,27(6):772-778
A plane wave spectrum scattering analysis of the effects of a near-zone obstacle on the pattern performance of a directive antenna is discussed. The free-space azimuth monopulse antenna is characterized by its sum and difference mode plane wave spectra, and a computed plane wave scattering dyad is used to characterize the scattering by a metallic right circular cylinder when it is excited by the incident antenna spectra. An efficient computer algorithm has been developed to compute the far-zone scattered and total fields for the antenna/cylinder system. Extensive experimental data have been obtained, and the patterns calculated using the present analysis are in agreement with the measured data. 相似文献

Spherical near-field scanning techniques are formulated for electromagnetic fields in the time domain so that a single set of time-domain near-field measurements yields the far field in the time domain or over a wide range of frequencies. Probe-corrected as well as nonprobe-corrected formulations are presented. For bandlimited time-domain fields, sampling theorems and computation schemes are derived that give the field outside the scan sphere in terms of sampled near-field data 相似文献

A procedure used by the US National Bureau of Standards (NBS) for accurately determining the plane-wave receiving parameters of both single- and dual-port linearly polarized probes is described. Examples are presented, and the effect of these probe receiving characteristics in the calculation of the parameters for the antenna under test is demonstrated using the required planar near-field theory. The planar near-field theory necessary to accomplish probe correction and to formulate probe parameter errors is presented in a concise and meaningful way to help understand when probe correction is or is not needed 相似文献

In near-field antenna measurements various forms of uniform and non-uniform sampling techniques have been widely deployed. Considering the fact that the near-field pattern of any antenna is a spatially quasi-band-width-limited function of space coordinates, Shannon's theorem simply defines the sampling frequency. Based on the sampling theorem, in order to precisely reconstruct a band-limited signal from its samples, the sampling frequency must be at least twice as much as the signal's bandwidth. Through the simulations and theoretical evaluations this research shows that if the near-field pattern is either uniformly or non-uniformly under-sampled due to any practical reasons, yet a good estimation of far-field pattern can be obtained especially if the antenna under test (AUT) is a directive high-gain or super high-gain antenna. Also the time efficiency of far-field prediction from under-sampled near-field data is discussed and the advantages and disadvantages are highlighted. 相似文献

为了提高基于超宽带探头的球面近场天线测试系统精度,相应的探头补偿算法需要考虑超宽带探头的高阶方位模式. 文中采用文献[3 ]中基于球面波的迭代法方案实现了高效高精度的高阶探头补偿算法,并将其应用到一种工作在2~18 GHz的超宽带双脊喇叭探头中. 同时以偶极子阵列为例,研究了本文算法相较于传统低阶算法的精度优势,测试了该算法在多种条件下的收敛性. 结果显示:在相同条件下,高频端比低频端的高阶补偿效应更加明显;当待测天线完全落在该探头的主瓣6 dB宽度区域内时,算法均可以在几次(小于10)迭代后达到理想的精度. 因此,本文算法可以有效地提高基于超宽带探头的球面近场测试系统的精度,并且具有较高的单机计算效率. 相似文献

A passive intermodulation (PIM) near-field XY scanner for the GSM900 frequency band has been constructed to localize distortion sources in antennas and in other open structures. The equipment should be able to measure distortion levels down to -115 dBm with an input power of 2/spl times/20 W, since the noise floor of a GSM900 base station is typically around -110 dBm. The sensitivity is limited either by thermal noise or by residual intermodulation distortion, depending on the probe coupling. Various causes of residual intermodulation distortion in the passive intermodulation near-field measurement are considered and evaluated. Sensitivity measurements of the scanner have been carried out on two test devices. Sensitivities of -112 dBm and -110 dBm have been achieved with an electric and a magnetic field probe, respectively. 相似文献

We propose a simple procedure to process data from a near-field measurement to obtain accurately an appropriately defined `spot size? in single-mode fibres and hence estimate almost all the relevant fibre characteristics like dispersion, splice loss and microbending loss. 相似文献
