Abstract:
1. A system for determining antenna characterization parameters including: a first antenna having known antenna characterization parameters; a test chamber containing at least one source antenna for performing a series of tests on the first antenna and obtaining first test data therefrom; a second antenna similar to the first antenna subjected to the said series of tests in the test chamber to obtain second test data; a comparator for comparing the first and second test data to determine the characterization parameters of the second antenna based upon the relationship to the known characterization parameters of the first antenna; and a transport device for individually supporting the first and second antennas thereon and for individually accurately positioning said first and second antennas at the same fixed predetermined location within the test chamber with respect to the source antenna when performing the same series of tests individually on the first and second antennas.
