Why is the receiving antenna scanned in height on an open area test site?

  • A.To average out the effect of nearby buildings and vehicles
  • B.To find the height at which direct and reflected waves add
  • C.To measure the pattern of the equipment under test in elevation
  • D.To ensure the antenna is in the far field of the equipment

Answer: B

The ground reflection interferes with the direct wave, so the received level varies strongly with antenna height, and the standard requires the maximum over a stated height range to be reported. Without the scan the result would depend on an arbitrary choice. It is not a pattern measurement, far field conditions are set by the distance, and environmental averaging is not the aim. Making a procedure yield a defined worst case is what allows results to be compared between laboratories.
