Planar Near-Field Measurement of Non-Reciprocal Antennas (Planaire Nabije-Veldmetingen van Niet-Reciproke Antennes)

Abstract

In this report the transmission equation for a planar near-field measurement configuration is derived for the situation in which the antenna under test is operated as a receiving antenna. (Usually the antenna under test is operated as a transmitting antenna). This transmission equation has the same form as that derived for the situation in which the antenna under test is acting as transmitting antenna. With this new derived and with the existing transmission equation, it is possible to characterize non-reciprocal antennas, provided that the used probe is completely characterized. Keywords: Probe; Antennas; Near field measurement; Reciprocal antennas; Netherlands.
