Delivering on the promise of 5G measurements requires the adoption of new RF system technologies that encompass both the mobile user equipment and the active base station. Keeping pace with the impact of new wireless system test parameters such as: Data throughput, Error Vector Magnitude, Symbol Error Rate, and technologies such as mm-wave Massive MIMO, OFDM, and QAM presents significant challenges to antenna test community. For the most part, the market has attempted to react by adapting traditional test equipment to the wireless market however 5G testing presents an ever-greater challenge and demands the incorporation of simulation effects when designing and optimising an antenna test system, especially as these systems have increased in complexity with the adoption of the indirect far-field method and specifically the compact antenna test range (CATR). This paper discusses how 5G communication system parameters affect the design of the CATR and how newly developed simulation capabilities have been incorporated to optimize the CATR design for 5G test applications.
实现5G测量的承诺需要采用新的射频系统技术,包括移动用户设备和主动式基站。跟上新的无线系统测试参数的影响,如:数据吞吐量,误差矢量大小,符号错误率,以及毫米波大规模MIMO, OFDM和QAM等技术对天线测试界提出了重大挑战。在大多数情况下,市场试图通过使传统测试设备适应无线市场来做出反应,但是5G测试提出了更大的挑战,并且要求在设计和优化天线测试系统时结合模拟效果,特别是随着采用间接远场方法,特别是紧凑型天线测试范围(CATR),这些系统的复杂性增加。本文讨论了5G通信系统参数如何影响CATR的设计,以及如何结合新开发的仿真功能来优化5G测试应用的CATR设计。

We demonstrate simultaneous amplitude and phase measurements of a radio-frequency (RF) field through the use of a Rydberg atom-based sensor embedded inside a waveguiding structure. This measurement uses the Rydberg atom-based sensor in a mixer configuration, which requires the presence of a local oscillator (LO) RF field. The waveguiding structure supplies the LO field. The combined waveguide and Rydberg atom system is used to measure phase and amplitude in the near-field of a horn antenna to extract the far-field pattern.

The Plane Wave Generator (PWG) is an array of elements generating an approximately plane wave over a finite volume in the test area called Quiet Zone (QZ). The plane wave condition can be achieved in close proximity to the array with suitably optimized complex coefficients. The PWG thus achieve far-field testing conditions in a manner similar to the Compact Antenna Test Range (CATR) but with a reduced distance to the QZ [1–2]. As a complete system the PWG has the advantage of reduced physical size compared to the a CATR with equivalent testing capabilities, in particular at lower frequencies. In [3–4], the concept of a high performance, dual polarized PWG supporting up to 1:10 bandwidth was presented. A prototype of a dual polarized PWG has been designed, manufactured and tested in the 600MHz to 6GHz frequency range.This paper presents the initial verification of the prototype PWG. The testing is performed using a representative analog beam forming network with narrow bandwidth. The QZ uniformity of the PWG is verified by spherical near-field measurements and back-propagation. The peak gain of a low directivity antenna is measured at different distances in the QZ and compared to reference measurements in a spherical near-field system. The aim of the comparison is to access the measurement accuracy of the PWG.
平面波发生器(PWG)是一组元件,在被称为安静区(QZ)的测试区域的有限体积上产生近似平面波。通过适当优化复系数,可以在靠近阵列的地方获得平面波条件。因此,PWG以类似于紧凑型天线测试范围(CATR)的方式实现远场测试条件,但与QZ的距离缩短了[1-2]。作为一个完整的系统,与具有同等测试能力的CATR相比,PWG具有缩小物理尺寸的优势,特别是在较低频率下。在[3-4]中,提出了支持高达1:10带宽的高性能双极化PWG的概念。在600MHz至6GHz频率范围内设计、制造并测试了双极化PWG样机。本文介绍了原型PWG的初步验证。测试使用具有代表性的窄带宽模拟波束形成网络进行。通过球面近场测量和反向传播验证了PWG的QZ均匀性。测量了低指向性天线在QZ内不同距离的峰值增益,并与球形近场系统的参考测量值进行了比较。比较的目的是为了获得PWG的测量精度。

An algorithm is developed for the non-destructive extraction of constitutive parameters from uniaxial anisotropic materials backed by a conductive layer. A method of moments-based approach is used in conjunction with a previously-determined Green function. A dominant-mode analysis is done for rapid comparison of the derived forward model with that of commercially-available software. Finally, laboratory measurements are taken to compare this approach to that of a destructive, high-precision method.

In 1987 the author built the world's first Personal Near-field antenna measurement System (PNS). This led to the formation of Nearfield Systems Inc. (NSI) a company that became a major manufacturer of commercial near-field antenna measurement systems. After leaving NSI in 2015 several new personal antenna measurement tools were built including a modern updated PNS. The new PNS consists of a portable XY scanner, a hand held microwave analyzer and a laptop computer running custom software. The PNS was then further generalized into a modular electromagnetic field imaging tool called "Radio Camera". The Radio Camera measures electro-magnetic fields as a n-dimensional function of swept independent parameters. The multidimensional data sets are processed with geometric and spectral transformations and then visualized. This paper provides an overview of the new PNS and Radio Camera, discusses operational considerations, and compares it with the technology of the original 1987 PNS. Today it is practical for companies, schools and individuals to build low-cost personal antenna measurement systems that are fully capable of meeting modern industry measurement standards. These systems can be further enhanced to explore and visualize electromagnetic fields in new and interesting ways.
1987年,建立了世界上第一个个人近场天线测量系统(PNS)。这导致了近场系统公司(NSI)的形成,该公司成为商业近场天线测量系统的主要制造商。在2015年离开NSI后,建立了几个新的个人天线测量工具,包括现代更新的PNS。新的PNS由一个便携式XY扫描仪、一个手持微波分析仪和一台运行定制软件的笔记本电脑组成。PNS随后被进一步推广为称为“无线电相机”的模块化电磁场成像工具。射电相机测量的电磁场是扫描独立参数的n维函数。对多维数据集进行几何变换和光谱变换,然后进行可视化处理。本文概述了新的PNS和无线电相机,讨论了操作注意事项,并将其与1987年的原始PNS技术进行了比较。今天,对于公司、学校和个人来说,建立完全能够满足现代工业测量标准的低成本个人天线测量系统是可行的。这些系统可以进一步增强,以新的和有趣的方式探索和可视化电磁场。

A reliable technique for antenna array characterization and calibration is demonstrated for two state-of-the-art antenna measurement systems, a near-field system and a compact antenna test range system. Both systems are known to reduce the measurement distance between device under test and the probe antenna in comparison to classical far-field systems, which need to provide at least the Fraunhofer distance as minimum range length. Equivalent magnetic surface currents are derived from measurements, which represent the electric field on the applied Huygens surface. The calculated equivalent magnetic currents are utilized for characterizing two completely different antenna arrays in the millimeter-wave region. Magnitude and phase calibration opportunities of antenna arrays are discussed, as well as the accuracy provided by the proposed calibration technique.

Recent Changes to the IEEE std 1502 Recommended Practice for Radar Cross-Section Test Procedures 最新修订的IEEE标准1502雷达截面测试程序推荐实践

Radar scattering is typically represented as the RCS of the test object. The term RCS evolved from the basic metric for radar scattering: the ratio of the power scattered from an object in units of power per solid angle (steradians) normalized to the plane-wave illumination in units of power per unit area. The RCS is thus given in units of area (or effective cross-sectional area of the target, hence the name). Note that the RCS of the test object is a property of the test object alone; it is neither a function of the radar system nor the distance between the radar and the test object, if the object is in the far field. Because the RCS of a target can have large amplitude variation in frequency and angle, it is expressed in units of decibels with respect to a square meter and is abbreviated as dBsm (sometimes DBSM or dBm2). In terms of this definition, the RCS of a radar target is a scalar ratio of powers. If the effects of polarization and phase are included, the scattering can be expressed as a complex polarimetric scattering (CPS) matrix. The measurement of the RCS of a test object requires the test object to be illuminated by an electromagnetic plane wave and the resultant scattered signal to be observed in the far field. After calibration, this process yields the RCS of the test object in units of area, or the full scattering matrix as a set of complex scattering coefficients.This paper describes the planned upgrades to the old IEEE Std 1502™-2007 IEEE Recommended Practice for Radar Cross-Section Test Procedures [1]. The new standard will reflect the recent improvements in numerical tools, measurement technology and uncertainty estimates in the past decade.
雷达散射通常表示为测试对象的RCS。术语RCS是从雷达散射的基本度量演变而来的:以每立体角(立体面)的功率为单位的物体散射功率与以每单位面积的功率为单位的平面波照明的归一化之比。因此,RCS以面积(或目标的有效横截面积,因此得名)为单位。请注意,测试对象的RCS只是测试对象的一个属性;它既不是雷达系统的函数,也不是雷达与测试对象之间距离的函数,如果目标在远场。由于目标的RCS在频率和角度上可以有较大的幅度变化,因此以分贝为单位表示,简称为dBsm(有时为dBsm或dBm2)。根据这个定义,雷达目标的RCS是一个标量的功率比。如果考虑极化和相位的影响,散射可以表示为复极化散射(CPS)矩阵。测试对象的RCS测量要求测试对象受到电磁平面波的照射,并在远场观察由此产生的散射信号。校准后,该过程产生以面积为单位的测试对象的RCS,或作为一组复散射系数的完整散射矩阵。本文描述了对旧的IEEE Std 1502™-2007 IEEE雷达截面测试程序推荐实践[1]的计划升级。新标准将反映过去十年中在数值工具、测量技术和不确定度估计方面的最新改进。

Techniques for measuring G/T have been previously presented at AMTA; however, there are very few papers that discuss how to measure G/T in a near-field antenna range. One recent paper discussed such a method and gave a brief description within the larger context of satellite payload testing [1]. The paper’s treatment of G/T was necessarily brief and gives rise to several questions in relation to the proposed method. Other papers that treated this topic required the antenna aperture to be separable from the back-end electronics, which may not be possible in all cases [2–3]. In this paper, we discuss in great detail a slightly modified version of the G/T measurement method presented in [1]. A signal and noise power diagram is presented that can be useful for understanding how system signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) relates to G/T, and a few common misconceptions concerning the topic of G/T are addressed. The CW-Ambient technique for computing G/T of a Unit Under Test (UUT) from measurements in a planar near-field system is described in detail, and a list of assumptions inherent to the CW-Ambient technique is presented. Finally, the validity of the CW-Ambient technique is assessed by analyzing measured data collected from a separable UUT.
测量G/T的技术先前已在AMTA上提出;然而,很少有论文讨论如何在近场天线范围内测量G/T。最近的一篇论文讨论了这种方法,并在卫星有效载荷测试的大背景下进行了简要描述[1]。该文件对G/T的处理必然是简短的,并提出了与所提议的方法有关的几个问题。其他处理该主题的论文要求天线孔径与后端电子设备可分离,这在所有情况下可能都不可能[2-3]。在本文中,我们详细讨论了对[1]中提出的G/T测量方法稍加修改的版本。本文给出了一个信号和噪声功率图,它有助于理解系统信噪比(SNR)与G/T的关系,并解决了关于G/T主题的一些常见误解。本文详细描述了利用平面近场系统测量数据计算被测单位(UUT) G/T的CW-Ambient技术,并给出了CW-Ambient技术所固有的一系列假设。最后,通过对可分离UUT的实测数据进行分析,对该技术的有效性进行了评价。

Finally, the validity of the CW-Ambient technique is assessed by analyzing measured data collected from a separable UUT.","PeriodicalId":339768,"journal":{"name":"2019 Antenna Measurement Techniques Association Symposium (AMTA)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128266283","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The generalized three-antenna method is a standard method for measuring on-axis gain and polarization of an antenna without a priori knowledge. The cornerstone of the method is the use of the extrapolation technique and the key relationship in the extrapolation technique is Wacker’s equation. This equation expresses the received signal as a function of the separation distance between any two antennas. The derivation of Wacker’s equation is not readily available in the literature. In this paper, we provide a streamlined derivation of Wacker’s equation and address some of the common misconceptions associated with it.
广义三天线法是在不需要先验知识的情况下测量天线轴向增益和极化的标准方法。该方法的基础是外推技术的使用,外推技术中的关键关系是瓦克方程。这个方程将接收到的信号表示为任意两个天线之间的分离距离的函数。瓦克方程的推导在文献中是不容易得到的。在本文中,我们提供了一个简化的瓦克方程的推导,并解决了一些与之相关的常见误解。
