The method of spherical harmonics in the theory of the measurement of antenna characteristics
Abstract
Mathematical aspects of the method of spherical harmonics for the determination of antenna characteristics are examined. Particular consideration is given to antenna measurements using the fixed-probe technique. A two-stage program was realized in FORTRAN. Measurement results are presented for a pyramidal horn excited at a wavelength of 0.033 m.
