6.3.4 Radiation patterns of an antenna
Add, after the last paragraph of this subclause, the following new paragraph:
Annex I introduces a method for antenna pattern measurement in the frequency range above
1 GHz.
Add, after the existing Annex H, the following new Annex I:

© IEC 2017
Annex I
(normative)
Antenna pattern measurement method in the frequency
range above 1 GHz, with measurement uncertainty budget
I.1 General
All measurement methods in the CISPR 16 series need an estimation of the measurement
uncertainty. A common approach is to list all contributions and to determine the influence of
each one. This works very well if the uncertainty contributions are independent from the EUT
itself. In case of antenna pattern measurements above 1 GHz uncertainty contributions are
NOT independent from the EUT.
The major uncertainty contributions are:
a) reflections inside the antenna chamber;
b) reflections from the transmit antenna mast and the receive antenna mast;
c) positioning uncertainty of the turntable leading to azimuth drift;
d) alignment of the antennas;
e) reflections between antennas.
All of these contributions are dependent on the antenna pattern to be measured as follows:
1) The nature of the pattern of omnidirectional antennas will lead to stronger reflections from
objects around the antenna and from all surfaces of the anechoic chamber.
2) Coupling with the antenna mast is more significant if omnidirectional antennas or
directional antennas with a strong back lobe are measured.
3) Uncertainty of the turntable positioning can be seen if directional antennas with a high-
gradient antenna pattern are measured.
4) Alignment is more critical if directive antennas are measured.
5) Unwanted coupling between measurement antennas exists if the dimensions of the
antennas are electrically large.
To account for these effects on uncertainty this measurement method includes a statistical
estimation of the measurement uncertainty. The following subclauses describe the set-up and
test method. Because a combined method is used, the problem of separately performing site
validation and antenna mast validation is solved. It is easy for calibration labs to implement,
and the effort is reasonable because the procedure is applied for the following cases:
a) for a new and/or modified chamber and/or turntable;
b) if the receive antenna model is changed;
c) for each manufacturer and model of AUC.
This method is similar to the method given in 5.3.3 of CISPR 16-1-5:2014.
I.2 Test set-up
In a typical test set-up, the receive or transmit antenna under test is mounted in front of a
vertical mast placed on a turntable. A change between the E-plane and the H-plane is easily
done by rotating the antenna by 90°.

For the purposes of these tests, two principal categories of positioning systems are defined
based on known methods of performing spherical antenna pattern tests. These are the
distributed-axis system and the combined-axis system.
Combined-axis systems mount the Φ-axis positioner on the θ-axis, as shown in Figure I.1 a),
to rotate the AUC around two axes, while the distributed axis systems move the measurement
antenna about the AUC on the Φ-axis positioner, as shown in Figure I.1 b). With the combined
axis system the height is not critical but half the chamber height is recommended. With the
distributed axis system the radius of the ring is determined by using the maximum size of the
AUC and calculating the far-field criteria.

Two distances are defined as follows:

d is the distance between the centre of the turntable and the reference point of the
measurement antenna; a distance of 3 m or longer is recommended (see Figure

d is the distance between the antenna mast and the reference point of the AUC (see
Figure I.3); because only the antenna can be moved, and not the positioner.
Adjustment of d is possible using for example different length adaptors.

Figure I.3 − Definition of d
The AUC is the antenna mounted on the rotational positioner of the combined axis system
and on the rotating pedestal for the distributed axis system. Only one of either system needs
to be used.
For an element type antenna, see 7.5.2.1.
I.3 Test method
The test method is based on changing the phase condition of direct and reflected waves,
similar to S (see CISPR 16-1-4).
VSWR
The antenna pattern is measured a total of 12 times while the distances d and d are varied

as follows.
a) Influence of the antenna mast – with d held constant, d is increased in the following
1 2
steps (see Figure I.4):
1) d + 0,0 cm,
2) d + 0,3 cm,
3) d + 3,0 cm,
4) d + 6,0 cm,
5) d + 7,5 cm,
+ 9,0 cm.
6) d
The spacing between d positions above is unequal, i.e. similar to S . The physical
2 VSWR
lower limit is defined by the lowest frequency used, at least λ/4.
NOTE The reference point and phase centre in this case mean the same thing. The phase centre can change
as a function of frequency and has to be known for the applica
