  • Abstract
    Basic specifications are introduced simply for 50-meter radio telescope antenna in this paper. Measurement principle and method of gain and pattern for 50-meter radio telescope antenna are described using solar noise and satellite beacon signal. Finally, measurement results of 50-meter antenna gain and pattern are given, and measuring results meet prediction requirements.
