Abstract :
Based on our previously proposed method for measuring the gain of a long antenna in an anechoic chamber, in this investigation, a novel measurement method that uses a short reference antenna with an omni-directional pattern is proposed in order to reduce the influence of the numerical standing wave generated by the software compact range.
