Near field measurements on the telecommunications system of the Symphonie satellite
Abstract
After a general description of the principle of near field measurements and definition of the task within the 'Symphonie' project results of fundamental measurements in the near field of the 'Symphonie' transmitting antennas are presented. Accomplishment of the measurement of some telecommunication parameters such as EIRP, gain slope and antenna diagrams is described and results compared with expected theoretical values and far field measurements. Conformity is excellent.
