Abstract
A method of measuring a directional graph of a test antenna includes disposing a plurality of measuring probes relative to the test antenna, each being disposed at a different first predetermined height above a reference plane; disposing the test antenna at a second predetermined height above the reference plane; measuring transmission characteristics relative to the test antenna between each of the plurality of measuring probes and the test antenna; determining prevailing scatter characteristics of the reference plane; and determining the directional graph of the test antenna using the prevailing scatter characteristics.
