Near and Far Field Measurements with a Vector Network Analyzer

For optimal performance in over-the-air RF systems, antennas must meet specific requirements. Performance parameters like size, wind-loading, environmental ruggedness, transmission pattern, bandwidth, and power handling capability should be considered. Methods of measuring the transmission (or reception) pattern that determines antenna gain with a VNA will be examined in this article.

IEC TS 62789:2014 provides guidelines for the parameters to be specified for concentrator photovoltaic cells (both multi-junction and single junction) and provides recommendations and references for measurement techniques. No attempt is made to determine pass/fail criteria for cells. The purpose is to define the performance and physical characteristics of concentrator cells. This specification may also be used for describing cell assemblies and receivers.”
