Problems solved by technology

Generally, when the test frequency is high and the physical size of the antenna is large, it is difficult for the ordinary indoor test site to meet the test conditions, and an outfield test is required. However, in addition to the high cost of the outfield test, due to its long distance and environmental Openness makes the test extremely vulnerable to external interference and is not conducive to confidentiality
However, the current engineering test only analyzes the performance of the antenna by drawing the E-plane and H-plane of the antenna, and it is difficult to obtain the three-dimensional pattern of the far field of the antenna.
[0003] If the near-field test is used, the high end of the frequency is 3GHz, the wavelength λ=10cm, and the length, width, and height of the antenna are 1m. The distance R that satisfies the near-field condition can be calculated by the following formula, namely Under this condition, due to the high height of the antenna itself, the cylindrical wave cannot be approximated as a plane wave, and the measured data will have a large error

Abstract

The invention relates to an antenna directional pattern testing method based on spherical surface near-field scanning extrapolation. Through near field testing, a far-field directional pattern can be obtained by subjecting obtained data to arithmetic extrapolation, so the testing distance is reduced and plane wave conditions required by cylindrical wave test are not required. A three-dimensional direction pattern obtained finally can analyze performance of an antenna more clearly and visually, and has great engineering practical value. The testing method can realize effective close-range antenna testing, saves testing cost, lowers testing difficulty, and meanwhile aims to obtain the three-dimensional direction pattern of a tested antenna so as to analyze performance of the antenna more accurately.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of microwave measurement, in particular to an antenna pattern testing method based on spherical near-field scanning extrapolation. Background technique [0002] In the antenna test, it is always hoped that the radiation pattern of the antenna in the far field can be obtained, and the distribution of the antenna radiated energy in space can be represented by a graphic method. Generally, when the test frequency is high and the physical size of the antenna is large, it is difficult for the ordinary indoor test site to meet the test conditions, and an outfield test is required. However, in addition to the high cost of the outfield test, due to its long distance and environmental Openness makes the test extremely vulnerable to external interference, and it is not conducive to confidentiality. However, the current engineering test only analyzes the performance of the antenna by drawing the E-plane and H-plane of the antenn...
