The invention relates to an angular
radiometer and a method for the direction-dependent measurement of at least one optical or radiometric characteristic quantity of an
optical radiation source (1, S). The invention relates to an angular
radiometer comprising at least one sensor (SR) and a device (4, 5) for moving a
radiation source (1, 10, S), which device moves the
radiation source in such a way that the sensor (SR) acquires measured values representing an optical or radiometric characteristic quantity on a spherical surface around a
radiation center (11, LS) of the radiation source (1, 10, S). A specific plane of the plane
system (A) and a specific
radiation angle (alpha) in the plane are associated for each measured value of the optical or radiometric characteristic quantity. According to the invention, the device (4, 5) for moving the radiation source (1, 10, S) comprises a table (2) having an axis of rotation (A4) on which the radiation source (1, 10, S) can be fixed, the device (4, 5) being configured and designed to move the table (2) tangentially to a circular trajectory (3) in order to set different radiation angles (alpha), the radiation center (11, LS) being located at the center of the circular trajectory (3), and rotating the table (2) about an axis of rotation (A4) in order to set different planes of the planar
system (A), in which the radiation center (11, LS) of the radiation source (1, 10, S) fixed on the table (2) is fixed when moving on the circular trajectory (3) and when rotating about the axis of rotation (A4) of the table (2).
