Such a setup has been recently used as a test source to characterize the radiation pattern of fairly large VHF and UHF antennas in their installation conditions i.e. on the ground, with adjacent elements. In this framework, an accurate modeling of the test source is fundamental to distinguish properly its radiation characteristics from those of the antenna under test. The computed results are verified with both reflection coefficient and pattern measurements showing a very good agreement.ELETTRONICOenConference paper10.1109/EuCAP.2016.74817442-s2.0-84979208491https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/7481744FIS/05 - ASTRONOMIA E ASTROFISICAERC sectors::Physical Sciences and Engineering::PE9 Universe sciences: astro-physics/chemistry/biology; solar systems; stellar, galactic and extragalactic astronomy, planetary systems, cosmology, space science, instrumentation::PE9_17 Instrumentation – telescopes, detectors and techniques
