Abstract
A method is provided for estimating an antenna gain for an antenna under test (AUT). The AUT is positioned above a lossy surface and a probe antenna is positioned at a test distance from the AUT. A known signal is emitted from the AUT and received at the probe antenna. Utilizing the calculated normalized potential, the AUT gain can be estimated at any distance from the AUT. An apparatus is also provided.
