Abstract :
In this paper the well-known three antenna method for determining the antenna gain will be discussed in relation to a compact antenna test range. It will be shown that the applicability of such a method is possible and delivers quite accurate results if one carefully considers the different parameters that play a role in compact antenna test ranges.
