Abstract :
This paper presents a sophisticated vehicle antenna measurement system which allows, in addition to standard far field measurements, a full 3-dimensional measurement of the radiation pattern of a vehicle antenna. To prove measurement results, a simple vehicle model has been created, which allows comparison with simulation results.
