Abstract

A measurement technique is described which is well suited for experiments in anechoic chambers to determine the far-field gain of two identical pyramidal horn antennas with an uncertainty of +or-0.1 dB. For this technique it is necessary to find out the location of the amplitude center of a horn for observation points within the far-field region. In addition, the amplitude center leads to the phase center in the 45 degrees plane of the radiation field.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
