27、nts. When IEEE Std 149TM-1979 (IEEE Standard Test Procedures for Antennas) was first developed, near-field antenna measurement was in its infancy. In the mid-1980s, the use of near-field methods for measuring antennas started becoming more widespread, especially for testing communication satellite a

28、ntennas. Today, more than 200 facilities worldwide employ near-field methods for measuring antenna parameters. Many believe the time had come to develop a set of recommended practices for these measurements. This document lays out recommended practices for near-field measurements for the three princ

29、ipal geometries: cylindrical, planar, and spherical. It also indicates recommended measurement practices for the calibration of probes used as reference antennas in near-field measurements.

44、 Background 3.1 Antenna patterns We consider an ( )tiexp time dependence with frequency )2/( =f , wave number /2=k , and wavelength . Note that modern receivers generally use the ( )exp jt+time dependence. However much of the early theory and current software uses the ( )tiexp convention. The practi

45、tioner needs to be aware of the potential conflict. A minus sign needs to be added to the phase of a receiver using the +jt convention to get the proper result from software using the it convention. Sufficiently distant from a radiating antenna, the electric field is transverse and is given by the e
