Abstract :
This paper deals with the influence of the receiving antenna type used for the Site-VSWR method on the validation of test sites above 1 GHz. The significant effect of the receiving antenna radiation pattern on the Site-VSWR value will be shown. Furthermore the dependence of the used antenna types will be presented. The results are not only important for the validation method but also for the uncertainty budget of emission measurements that depends on the characteristics of the receiving antenna, also.
