Description / Abstract:
This document describes near-field test practices for the
measurement of antenna properties. It provides information on
developments in near-field measurements that have occurred since
the writing of IEEE Std 149™-1979 (IEEE Standard Test Procedures
for Antennas). This document recommends near-field measurement
practices for the three principal geometries: cylindrical, planar,
and spherical, and also recommends measurement practices for the
calibration of probes used as reference antennas in near-field
measurements.
Purpose
The purpose of this recommended practice document is to provide
practical guidance to those who are planning to do near-field
measurements. This document also specifies capabilities required of
a near-field measurement system.
