Abstract :
Measurement of dipole antennas by three-antenna method is evaluated by the comparison of the different types of open-area test site. These results show that the repeatability of the derived antenna factors is within /spl plusmn/0.3 dB for the fixed element dipole antennas in the case of the same height measurement.
