摘要
近场测量是一种重要的天线测量方法,该文采用一种等效磁流法的平面天线近远场变换方法,根据近场平面上测量的电场分布计算天线口径面上的等效磁流分布,进而得到空间任意位置的天线辐射分布。首先由等效原理建立天线口径面与近场扫描面的关系,得到表示近场与等效磁流的电场积分方程(EFIE)。通过矩量法(MOM)建立矩阵方程,引入共轭梯度(CG)法和迭代法求解;再利用快速傅里叶变换(FFT)法,提高运行速度;最后根据格林公式计算得到天线远场方向图。为降低矩阵运算的工作量,提升测试工作效率,只对与天线辐射传播方向两个正交平面上进行采样测量,得到相应的E面和H面方向图。最后通过仿真验证方法的可行性,结果表明,等效磁流法反演的天线方向图和实际方向图在主瓣附近110°范围内具有良好的一致性,可以应用于天线近场测量。
Near field measurement is an important method for antenna test.A near filed-far field transformation using equivalent magnetic current method is presented in this paper.The magnetic current distribution on the fictitious planar surface on the antenna aperture is calculated from the electric field distribution measured on the near-field plane,with which the antenna radiation pattern in any location can be obtained.Firstly,the relationship between the antenna aperture surface and the near-field scanning surface was established according to the equivalent principle,and the electric field integral equation(EFIE)representing the near field and the equivalent magnetic current is obtained.Method of moments(MOM)was used to get the matrix equation,and the conjugate gradient(CG)method and iteration method were employed to solve the matrix equation.The fast Fourier transform(FFT)method was used to improve the calculation speed.The antenna pattern was calculated according to the Green formula.In order to reduce the matrix computing time and improve test efficiency,only two orthogonal slices of near-filed along the propagation direction were measured,and antenna pattern with Eplane and H-plane were calculated correspondingly.Finally,the method was validated with simulation.The simulation results show that the computed antenna pattern has good agreement with the analytic results over a range of 110°around the main beam.The method is applicable to antenna near field measurement.
