Abstract :
A new antenna-pattern measurement method for antennas with large far-field distances is proposed. The method is applicable to conventional antenna ranges with two axis mounts and with pattern recording in amplitude only, It requires only a few minor items of additional equipment. A computer simulation has been carried out and the results are presented.
