Abstract
The disclosure relates to technology for testing parameters of an antenna under test. The technology includes an antenna test bed, reference antenna and turntable for supporting the device and antenna under test. The turntable may be used to test the response of the antenna under test at different azimuth angles. Additionally, the reference antenna and turntable are integrated into a single test bed platform to ensure consistency and repeatability of test results.
Claims21
A system for testing parameters of an antenna under test, comprising:
- a test bed;
- a reference antenna mounted on the test bed;
- and
- a support disposed on the test bed and configured for positioning an antenna under test a distance from the reference antenna based on an operating frequency and a size of the antenna under test.
A system for testing parameters of an antenna under test, comprising:
- a test bed;
- a reference antenna mounted on the test bed;
- a turntable rotatably mounted on the test bed;
- and
- a support configured to receive and support the antenna under test, wherein the support is on the turntable, and wherein the support is configured to position the antenna under test a distance from the reference antenna based on an operating frequency and a size of the antenna under test.
A system for testing parameters of an antenna under test, comprising:
- a test bed;
- a reference antenna mounted at a variable position on the test bed;
- a turntable rotatably mounted on the test bed;
- a support, configured to receive and support the antenna under test, wherein the support is on the turntable, and wherein the support is configured to position the antenna under test a distance from the reference antenna based on an operating frequency and a size of the antenna under test;
- and a control system configured to:
- obtain different azimuth angles of the antenna under test by rotating the turntable;
- receive signals transmitted from the antenna under test, wherein the signals are generated based on the different azimuth angles of the antenna under test;
- and
- measure, based on the signals transmitted from the antenna under test, azimuth angle-dependent properties of the antenna under test at the different azimuth angles of the antenna under test on the turntable.
