The method comprises the following steps of: placing an antenna to be tested on a special non-metal turntable in the GTEM cell; arranging a radio frequency signal generator on the port of the GTEM cell; connecting the output end of the antenna with a frequency spectrograph through a cable; testing the receiving power of the antenna; monitoring the rotation of the turntable and data of the frequency spectrograph in real time so as to obtain a maximum value of the receiving power of the antenna; and calculating the gain of the antenna by using a formula provided by the invention. The method has the characteristics of simple operation and low cost.
Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of application of gtem cell, relate in particular to a kind of method with the gain of gtem cell test antenna.
Background technology
In the test of antenna and communications transmit equipment, the test of antenna gain is an important content.Traditional method need be placed on receiving antenna in free space or the darkroom, need use the canonical reference antenna simultaneously.These test environments or inevitably be subjected to electromagnetic interference (EMI) make measuring error bigger, perhaps waste time and energy, cost height and floor area be big.
Therefore, need a kind of simple, cheap relatively testing apparatus, the test of carrying out antenna gain with gtem cell but is a most suitable selection.With anechoic chamber,, half darkroom relatively, the major advantage of doing antenna measurement with gtem cell provide electric field intensity value accurately, and equipment cost is cheap, floor area is little for can shield outside electromagnetic interference preferably.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of method with the gain of gtem cell test antenna simple to operate, with low cost.
The objective of the invention is to be achieved through the following technical solutions:
Of the present invention with gtem cell test antenna gain method, comprise step:
A, antenna to be measured is placed on the special nonmetal turntable in the gtem cell, connects the gtem cell port to radio-frequency signal generator, and antenna output end mouth to be measured is connected with frequency spectrograph by cable;
The radio-frequency signal generator of B, connection port, turntable is rotated a circle along Y-axis, measure the received power value of antenna in this process by frequency spectrograph, find out the position when receiving maximum, on this maximum position, rotate a circle along X-axis again, measure the received power of antenna in this process by frequency spectrograph, the position when power is maximum is the maximum receive direction of antenna for this reason.
C, according to the maximal received power value of measured antenna to be measured under certain power input, this can be worth the gain of calculating antenna in the formula that substitution this method proposed.
As seen from the above technical solution provided by the invention, method with the gain of gtem cell test antenna of the present invention, by rotation to special nonmetal turntable, draw the received power of antenna maximum, calculate with formula proposed by the invention afterwards.Simple to operate, equipment cost is cheap.
