25、 key elements of radio-relay systems. A satisfactory fade margin for such systems is usually obtained by using high directivity, i.e.high-gain, antennas at both the transmitter and receiver terminals of a radio link. An antenna with a high directivity usually also has a narrow beam width main lobe w

26、hich can provide a useful measure of protection against reflected rays. These reflected rays can lead to multipath fading. Rapid sidelobe suppression away from the main lobe is often a requirement at radio-relay system nodes to provide sufficient de-coupling between radio links which employ frequenc

27、y use and small angular separation between the line-of-sight paths. Moreover, and especially for digital radio-relay systems, a high cross-polarization discrimination is necessary to provide sufficient decoupling between adjacent orthogonally polarized channels where the signal spectra overlap consi

28、derably, and between two orthogonally polarized co-frequency channels, i.e.using the same nominal carrier frequency. If the antenna under test is installed with a radome in normal operation on a radio link, all measurements should be performed with the radome fitted. 1 Scope This section of IEC835-2

29、 gives methods of measurement of the electrical characteristics of antennas used in terrestrial radio-relay systems at frequencies above1GHz. The methods described are suitable for both line-of-sight and tropospheric scatter radio-relay systems using linear polarization. This section does not consid

30、er methods of measurement for passive repeaters or periscope antennas nor does it address systems where the antenna cannot be measured separately. 2 Normative references The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this section

33、io-relay systems and satellite earth stations Section2: Basic characteristics. 3 Definitions For the purposes of this section of IEC835-2, the following definitions apply. Where a term is not defined in this section, the definition is assumed to be identical with the definition given in the Internat

34、ional Electrotechnical Vocabulary (IEV). In case of conflict, the definition given here takes precedence. NOTECharacteristics for which methods of measurement are given are defined in the corresponding measurement subclause. 3.1 antenna an antenna is defined as a device for coupling a transmission l

35、ine to free-space for the purpose of transmitting or receiving electromagnetic waves. It includes all the elements affecting the radiation characteristics of the antenna, e.g.primary feed(s), including polarization and/or frequency filters, reflectors, etc. It does not include the associated transmi

36、ssion lines and other electrical components on the transmitter/receiver side of the antenna terminals defined for measurement purposes. The antenna terminals must be specified. The antenna may also include a radomeEN60835-2-2:1994 4 BSI 01-2000 3.2 antenna assembly the antenna assembly, as used here

37、, includes the antenna and the provisions for attaching it to the supporting structure. It may also include provisions for pointing the antenna, when specified 3.3 antenna system the antenna system includes the antenna assembly, the transmission lines and, if not already contained in the antenna, th

38、e components necessary for radiating the electromagnetic energy in the desired direction 3.4 radome a protective cover of dielectric material for an antenna and/or its feed. A radome may also be used to reduce the effects of wind loading 3.5 bore-sight direction bore-sight direction is the direction

39、 intended to produce maximum antenna gain and hence maximum power transfer 3.6 antenna polarization the polarization of the electric field vector in the far-field region of the electromagnetic wave radiated by the antenna in the bore-sight direction radio links exclusively use linear polarization, a

40、nd most commonly vertical or horizontal linear polarization 3.7 polarization tilt angle the polarization tilt angle for a linearly polarized wave is defined as the angle between the electric field vector and the nominal polarization vector, in a plane perpendicular to the direction of propagation 3.

41、8 nominal polarization the nominal polarization of an antenna is the intended polarization of the antenna. Two antennas are said to be nominally co-polarized if their nominal polarizations are identical 3.9 cross-polarization cross-polarization is defined as that polarization which is orthogonal to

42、the nominal polarization, as defined in3.8. Two antennas are said to be nominally cross-polarized if their nominal polarizations are orthogonal 3.10 single-polarization antenna a single-polarization antenna is an antenna that radiates and/or receives only one plane of polarization. A single-polarize

43、d antenna normally has only one port for connection to the associated transmission line 3.11 dual-polarized antenna a dual-polarized antenna is an antenna that radiates and/or receives two planes of polarization. The two planes are intended to be mutually orthogonal. A dual-polarized antenna normall

44、y has two ports. The two ports may be at the antenna, or at the transmitter/receiver end of the antenna transmission line if the line is capable of supporting two orthogonal transmission modes 3.12 multi-band antenna an antenna which radiates and/or receives simultaneously in two or more frequency b

45、ands. Such an antenna may also be a dual-polarized antenna and operate simultaneously with orthogonal polarizations in two or more frequency bandsEN60835-2-2:1994 BSI 01-2000 5 3.13 effective area of an antenna (in a given direction)(A e ) the effective area of an antenna in a given direction is the

46、 ratio between the power delivered to a matched load at the antenna terminals (P r ) and the power per unit area (S) in a polarization-matched plane wave incident on the antenna,i.e. 3.14 antenna efficiency the antenna efficiency is the ratio of the maximum effective area to the projected area of th

47、e antenna in a plane perpendicular to the direction of maximum radiation. The maximum effective area is related to the maximum gain as defined in4.2.1 3.15 gain-reference antenna a gain-reference antenna is an antenna of closely reproducible specified construction having a gain which can be determin

48、ed by calculation and, if required, confirmed by measurement as being sufficiently consistent for use as a transfer standard for antenna-gain measurement 4 Methods of measurement 4.1 Test range considerations The “ideal” test range for determining far-field antenna performance should provide a plane

49、 wave of uniform amplitude and phase which completely illuminates the aperture of the antenna under test. The standard approach for an “ideal” test range is the so-called “free-space test range”. Such a test-range is often quite long, e.g.several hundreds of metres for test ranges suitable for the measurement of typical radio link antennas. Free-space test ranges are therefore usually constructed outdoors. The minimum recommended test-range length, or far-field distance, is usually2D 2 /2, where D is the largest aperture dimension eithe
