Abstract :
The quality of a real open area test site is affected by many factors, e.g., constructive elements carrying antennas, their power supply, the electric properties of the ground, or surrounding scattering sources. To quantitatively determine the influence of all factors that make a real test site differ from an ideal one, numerical simulation is employed here. Hence, it will become possible to arrange a test site so that all requirements for antenna calibration and electromagnetic compatibility testing according to engineering standards are granted.
