A near-field measurement system includes a measurement probethat receives a radio signal that is transmitted from an antenna under measurementat a plurality of measurement positions included in a predetermined scan range, a frequency converterthat frequency-converts a frequency of the radio signal to a desired frequency, a timing processing unitthat generates a timing signal for starting measurement of an amplitude and a phase of the radio signal from a trigger signal output from a transmission devicein synchronization with transmission of the radio signal, and an amplitude and phase calculation unitthat acquires a radio signal frequency-converted by a frequency converterand digitized by an A/D converteron the basis of a timing signal for each measurement position and calculates an amplitude and a phase in a near field of the acquired radio signal.

Near-field measurement system and near-field measurement method

Provided is an antenna device used for evaluating a transmission characteristic or a reception characteristic of equipment under test (EUT) having an array antenna that includes a plurality of antenna elements arranged in a plane at predetermined intervals. The antenna device includes an antenna for receiving a modulated signal radiated by the EUT via the array antenna or radiating a modulated signal to the array antenna. The antenna is disposed at a position on a z-axis perpendicular to the plane defined by the plurality of antenna elements such that a group delay distortion of the modulated signal is reduced in a near-field region.
