The One

On-site antenna measurement has been recently attracting an increasing interest in order to assess the antenna performance in real operational environments. The complexity and cost of these kind of measurements have been significantly cut down due to recent developments in unmanned aerial vehicles’ (UAVs) hardware and antenna measurement post-processing techniques. In particular, the introduction of positioning and geo-referring subsystems capable of providing centimeter-level accuracy together with the use of phase retrieval techniques and near-field to far-field transformation algorithms, have enabled near field measurements using UAVs. This contribution presents an improved UAV-based on-site antenna measurement system. On the one hand, the simultaneous acquisition on two measurement surfaces has been introduced and calibrated properly, thus reducing geo-referring uncertainties and flight time. On the other hand, the positioning and geo-referring subsystem has been enhanced by means of a dual-band real time kinematics (RTK) unit. The system capabilities were validated by measuring an offset reflector antenna, and the results were compared with the measurements at the spherical range in the anechoic chamber and with the measurements collected with a previous version of the implemented system.

Some novel researches on the application of the near-field antenna measurement and the measurement methods, main functions and technical indexes of the test system are presented in this paper. Based on the modern near-field test theory, the manufactured antenna measurement system gives a high precision performance. Continuous wave test and pulse test can be operated with the system. The practical application such as the multi-channel test, multi-frequency shows that the measurement system proposed is a high-precision, multi-functional and automatic system. Additional requirements of the production and current scientific research on the antenna measurement can be satisfied, too. The proposed measurement system is of great value in application and extension.
