Analysis of the Flight Test Method for Airborne Antenna Pattern Measurement
The antenna pattern is an important reference to find out the performance base of the airborne antenna,and the pattern obtained by the test flight can better reflect the performance of the antenna in the installation environment.This article proposes a circular route flight method,compares and analyzes the airborne antenna pattern measurement between circular flight route and"cloverleaf"flight route.In this paper,a preprocessing method for the antenna pattern measurement data under circular flight route is introduced,scilicet the method of field intensity convert and direction angle convert is proposed.The experimental results of the antenna pattern measurement confirm that the circular flight route antenna directional pattern testing method is more efficient,and yields more directional information in the test results,and has a more guiding role in combat application.
