Abstract
This invention relates to a process for measuring an antenna diagram in which: PA1 the antenna (30) is connected to a receiver (33) capable of supplying C/No measures (the ratio of the useful signal power to the noise power spectral density) and possibly phase variation measurements; PA1 the antenna (30) is placed at the end of a mast (32) or a carrier satellite facing towards the sky to track the satellites in a constellation, the antenna reception band being included in the satellite antenna transmission band; PA1 the C/No ratio and phase variations are automatically recorded for a given period; PA1 the diagram for the said antenna is deduced by calculation.
