Abstract

According to the present invention, a small-sized electromagnetic wave measuring apparatus is provided which can simply measure an electromagnetic wave radiated from an antenna to be measured. The electromagnetic wave includes: a holder for holding the antenna to be measured; a plurality of probe antennas, provided on a circle having a center substantially at the holder, for detecting the electromagnetic wave radiated from the antenna to be measured; and a rotating unit for rotating the holder around a direction substantially perpendicular to a normal of the circle as a rotation axis.

Description

[0001] The present application is a continuation application of PCT / JP01 / 10365 filed on Nov. 28, 2001 which claims priority from Japanese Patent Applications 2001-228624 filed on Jul. 27, 2001 and 2001-259805 filed on Aug. 29, 2001, the contents of which are enclosed herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] The present invention relates to an electromagnetic wave measuring apparatus. More particularly, the present invention relates to an electromagnetic wave measuring apparatus which measures an electromagnetic wave radiated from an antenna to be measured by detecting it by means of a plurality of probe antennas. [0004] 2. Related Art [0005] A conventional electromagnetic wave measuring apparatus measures an electromagnetic wave radiated from an antenna to be measured on a partial sphere by scanning a large measuring antenna such as a dipole antenna, on a circular arc the center of which is positioned at the antenna to be measured or ro...
