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.

– assessment of the functionality of intelligent transmitters;

– testing the operational behaviour, as well as the static and dynamic performance of an intelligent transmitter and methodologies for determining the reliability and diagnostic features used to detect malfunctions;

– determining the communication capabilities of the intelligent transmitters in a communication network. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2006 and constitutes a technical revision. It includes the following changes:

– Introduction.

– Terms and definitions: all definitions already present in IEC 60050 and in IEC 61298 have been deleted.
