Abstract :
Based on our previously proposed method for measuring the gain of a long antenna in an anechoic chamber, in this investigation, we evaluate by simulation the gain deviation when considering the directivity, especially the half power beamwidth, of the source antenna because the parameters of the source antenna affect the accuracy of the measured gain.
