Patent ID: 7088287

Claim:
An apparatus for aligning antennas for near-field measurement, comprising: a receiving antenna for receiving a signal transmitted from a measurement target antenna; a signal dividing means for dividing the signal received in the receiving antenna into a vertical polarization signal and a horizontal polarization signal; a vertical polarization receiving means for receiving the vertical polarization signal from the signal dividing means; a horizontal polarization receiving means for receiving the horizontal polarization signal from the signal dividing means; a first amplitude/phase detecting means for detecting an amplitude and phase of the vertical polarization signal; a second amplitude/phase detecting means for detecting an amplitude and phase of the horizontal polarization signal; a coordinate determining means for determining coordinates by comparing the amplitude and phase detected by the first amplitude/phase detecting means with the amplitude and phase detected by the second amplitude/phase detecting means based on the polarization of the measurement target antenna; and a position adjuster for adjusting the position of the receiving antenna based on the coordinates determined in the coordinate determining means.
