Features: What is an important means to solve antenna problems? The answer is antenna testing. Through antenna testing, the correctness of antenna theoretical design can be verified; through antenna testing, whether the electrical performance indicators of the antenna meet the design requirements can be checked; through antenna experimental research, the measurement results are analyzed and summarized, and the antenna design is further improved. With the development of modern antenna technology, the advancement of microwave measurement instruments, and the development of modern computer technology, antenna measurement technology has rapidly developed both domestically and internationally! This book starts from the practical engineering testing of satellite communication ground station antennas, combining the commonly used instruments in modern ground station antenna testing, and systematically introduces the semi-automatic or automated measurement techniques for various electrical performance indicators of satellite communication ground station antennas. The content mainly includes antenna pattern testing, antenna gain testing, antenna cross-polarization isolation testing, ground station quality factor testing, antenna voltage standing wave ratio testing, antenna port isolation testing, and antenna feed testing, etc. It focuses on the automated measurement techniques for antenna patterns and gain, data processing methods, and error correction calculation methods. It also provides detailed introductions to the testing principles, block diagrams of testing principles, and measurement method steps for various electrical performance indicators of ground station antennas, along with rich engineering measurement examples, practical numerical calculation tables, and curves. This book is easy to understand, highly operational, and widely applicable, making it suitable for engineering technicians engaged in satellite communication, antenna design and adjustment, radio measurement, ground station acceptance, maintenance, and management. It can also serve as a reference book for teachers, senior students, and postgraduate students in relevant majors at colleges and universities.
