Antenna Radiation Pattern Measurement
2.1 2400 MHz Dipole Antenna Measurement
Note: To get the best accuracy, you should perform calibration before making any measurements on your
network analyzer. The recommended calibration kit is the Keysight 85033E. Please refer to Appendix B,
“S
21
Calibration” for the calibration procedure.
Figure 2
– Equipment setup
1. Set up the equipment as shown in Figure 2.
2. Two 2400 MHz
2 dipole antennas are used for the measurement. Mount one of the dipole
antennas on the top connector of the fixed antenna holder on the transmitter module (Tx). This is
the transmitting antenna. Orientate the antenna for vertical polarization and broadside to the other
antenna-under-test (AUT). The orientation of the transmitting and receiving antennas are shown
in Figure 4.
3. Use an RF coaxial cable to connect the
RF OUT
connector of the N9912A FieldFox RF analyzer
to the
RF IN
connector of the transmitter module (Tx).
