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 61196-1-200:2014 gives the general requirements and conditions for environmental tests to be performed on coaxial communication cables and applies to the IEC 61196-1-2xx series, which specifies environmental test methods for coaxial communication cables. Further test details (e.g. temperature, duration) and/or test requirements may be given in the relevant sectional or detail specification.”
