MEAS450 - Basic Far-Field Antenna Measurement

This is an introductory course on far-field antenna measurement techniques. The following outlines the course topics:

• Introduction
• The Far-Field Concept
• The Free-Space Concept
• Review - The Friis Transmission Equation
• Gain Comparison Measurements
• Three-Antenna Gain Measurements
• Three-Antenna Polarization Measurements
• Four-Antenna Techniques
• Pattern and Pattern Measurements
  • Positioners
  • Pattern Cuts
• Problems of using Far-Field Free-Space Techniques

This course assumes basic understanding of RF and microwave measurements, basic algebra and some linear algebra, and some understanding of uncertainty analysis. It is intended for engineers responsible for antenna measurements, although it could be appropriate for an experienced technician. The main prerequisite for this course is MEAS404.
