Pulsed Antenna Measurements Using PNA Network Analyzers
白皮书
Abstract
This paper presents advances in the instrumentation techniques that can be used for the measurement and characterization of antennas that are to be tested in a pulsed mode of operation. A digital filtering process is described which allows accurate measurements under a wide range of pulse conditions using a single receiver. A novel approach to achieving point-on-pulse measurements using receiver time-gating at the IF frequency is described. Measurements made using a Keysight Technologies, Inc. E8360 PNA series Microwave Network Analyzer are presented as a demonstration of a practical implementation of these techniques.
Keywords: antenna measurements, gating, pulsed measurements, measurement systems, receiver sensitivity, S-parameters.
