Abstract
System and method for determining gain characteristics of a linearly-polarized antenna. The method includes receiving a measured first amplitude of a forward gain between a circularly-polarized antenna probe and a linearly-polarized standard-gain antenna, a measured second amplitude of a forward gain between the circularly-polarized antenna probe and a linearly-polarized antenna under test, a measured third amplitude of a forward gain between a linearly-polarized antenna probe and the linearly-polarized standard-gain antenna, and a measured fourth amplitude of a forward gain between the linearly-polarized antenna probe and the linearly-polarized antenna under test. The method also includes determining a co-polarization gain and a cross-polarization gain of the linearly-polarized antenna under test based on the measured first amplitude, the measured second amplitude, the measured third amplitude, and the measured fourth amplitude. The determination may be performed using one or more processors.
