- Abstract:
- Results of a method are presented to measure the gain factor of a single passive antenna without the need of any reference antenna(s). A set-up for insertion loss measurement and only the antenna itself in front of a totally reflecting surface is required simulating a second identical antenna speeding up calibration procedures considerably. Since altogether only the antenna to be calibrated and a complex network analyser is needed one can expect among other things much smaller measurement uncertainty, directly traceable results, as well as much shorter time and lower cost in routine calibrations in broad frequency bands.
