Investigation of the Planar Near-Field Measurement of a Reflector Antenna and a Reflector-plus-Splash Plate Antenna System at X-band.

Abstract

This investigation is motivated by the difficulty of measuring certain multiple reflector antenna systems in a typical near field range configuration. The three primary objectives of this investigation are: (1) to investigate alternative planar near field measurement configurations, (2) to support computational simulation studies and (3) to investigate the performance of a particular dish plus splash plate antenna system.
