Abstract

The invention discloses a compact range antenna measuring system which comprises a feed source which is arranged in a microwave anechoic chamber and a planar wave generation unit formed by a plurality of meta-material layers which are overlapped with one another, wherein each meta-material layer comprises a substrate and a plurality of artificial hole micro-structures on the substrate; and electromagnetic waves generated by the feed source are converted into planar electromagnetic waves after passing through the planar wave generation unit. A reflecting surface in the prior art is replaced by the planar wave generation unit made from meta-materials, and the refraction characteristics of the planar wave generation unit are simulated by a computer according to test requirements, so that an antenna testing turntable is provided with a quasi-plane-wave testing area with excellent performance after the electromagnetic waves generated by the feed source are refracted by the planar wave generation unit. Thereby, the manufacturing of a high-precision reflecting surface and a high-difficulty processing technique are omitted, and thus the manufacturing cost of the compact range antenna measuring system is greatly reduced.

Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The invention relates to the field of compact field testing, in particular to a compact field antenna measurement system containing metamaterials. 【Background technique】 [0002] At present, the basic methods for measuring the scattering characteristics of targets (such as antennas, etc.) include far-field method, compact field method and near-field method. For the far-field method, let D be the maximum cross-sectional size of the target to be measured, and r be the distance between the transmitting antenna and the target to be measured, then when r≥2D^2 / λ (λ is the wavelength), it can be approximately considered as projected to the target The electromagnetic waves on the target are planar electromagnetic waves. Similarly, the distance between the receiving antenna and the target to be measured should also meet this requirement, so that the receiving antenna can receive the scattered far field. By rotating the target to be measured and measuring th...
