Abstract
The article explores the holographic method of measuring the antenna pattern. A flat antenna array is used as the antenna under test, and a planar rectangular surface is used as the surface on which the amplitudephase distribution in the near field is measured. Using the example of a flat antenna array, we consider the influence of the size of the measurement surface of the amplitude-phase distribution of the field in a plane orthogonal to the reconstruction plane of the radiation pattern. Antenna emitters are excited with a combined amplitude distribution and linear phase distribution. The field in the longitudinal zone of the lattice is determined using the Kirchhoff integral. The reconstructed radiation patterns are estimated using the amplitude-phase distribution over the entire measurement plane in comparison with the array radiation pattern in the far zone. A numerical analysis of the influence on the errors in determining the parameters of the lattice radiation pattern using the holographic method is also carried out: the number of columns of the amplitude-phase distribution on the measurement plane, the position of this plane in three coordinates relative to the plane of the aperture of the lattice. It is shown that if the spacing of the points of measurement of the amplitude-phase distribution and the pitch of the lattice are equal, to restore the radiation pattern using the holographic method, it is sufficient to use one column of the amplitude-phase distribution on the measurement plane. This greatly simplifies and reduces the cost of the measurement process and the necessary equipment. Examples of determining errors in measuring the parameters of the antenna array when shifting the plane of measurement of the amplitude-phase distribution in three coordinates are given.
