Abstract :
Comparisons of measurements on a contoured beam antenna carried out at five independent European test ranges are presented. They include a compact antenna test range, two cylindrical near-field test ranges, and two spherical near-field test ranges. The comparisons illustrate problems in the determination of gain values and cross polarization, while the agreement in the copolar patterns and the peak directivity is very good
