PROCEDE ET DISPOSITIF DE MESURE DU DIAGRAMME D'UNE ANTENNE

摘要

An antenna pattern measurement method wherein an antenna (30) is connected to a receiver (33) capable of providing C/No measurements (where C/No is the ratio of the useful signal power to the noise spectral power density) and optionally phase change measurements; the antenna (30) is placed on the end of a pole (32) or a carrier satellite and pointed at the sky for tracking the satellites in a constellation, the antenna receiving band being included in the satellite antenna transmission band; the C/No ratio and the phase changes during a predetermined time are automatically recorded; and the antenna pattern is calculated therefrom.
