Abstract :
Based on the two-ray model and the three-antenna method, an uncertainty analysis model is developed for dipole-like antenna factor measurements on an open area test site in the frequency range 30 MHz to 1 GHz. This paper presents an analysis procedure applying the ISO guide, and gives estimated uncertainties for both fixed-height and free-space antenna factors.
