A Technique for Measuring the Gain of HF Antennas

Abstract

A technique for characterising large HF antennas is considered. The approach achieves this by comparing radar returns from a target illuminated by the unknown antenna with returns from the same target illuminated by a well characterised antenna. Results from a trial confirm that the method is effective.
