Description
Summary:In this paper the design of a near-field scanner for antenna measurements is presented. A distinctive feature of the scanner is the absence of probe position sensors. The control circuit is proposed which allows generating the trigger signal for the vector network analyzer during continuous scanning without using information from the probe position sensors. Experimental results demonstrates that the proposed approach allows to perform fast and high quality antenna near-field measurements.
