Abstract

An antenna radiation pattern measurement device that measures a radiation pattern of an AUT by using a source antenna includes a control unit, an analysis unit, and a measurement unit. The control unit controls driving of the source antenna and the AUT. The analysis unit measures an electric field value from a radio frequency (RF) signal that is transmitted from one of the source antenna and the AUT and received by the other antenna. In addition, the measurement unit controls the control unit and the analysis unit and measures a radiation pattern of the AUT by using the electric field value.
