The impedance presented by the antenna input end. Its value is equal to the ratio of the input voltage to the current, usually a complex quantity. 3.1.3 Antenna polarization
The polarization of the wave radiated by the antenna in a given direction relative to itself. For receiving antennas, it refers to the polarization of a plane wave incident from a given direction and with a given power density, which results in the maximum available power at the antenna output terminal connection point. If the direction is not specified, it refers to the polarization in the direction of maximum gain.

CB1338-98
The polarization of a wave refers to the characteristics of the direction and relative magnitude of the electric field vector of the radiated electromagnetic wave changing with time. 3.1.4 Suspicious band

For a linearly polarized antenna receiving a plane wave from a given direction, it refers to the ratio of the amplitude of the open circuit voltage generated at the antenna output terminal to the amplitude of the electric field strength in the polarization direction of the antenna. When the antenna is an upright antenna, the effective length is also called the effective height. However, care should be taken not to confuse it with the height of the antenna radiation center from the ground (also called effective height) used at high frequencies. 3.1.6 Operating frequency range

The ratio of 2 times the energy stored in the antenna excitation field to the radiated and dissipated energy in one resonant cycle. For electrically small antennas, this value is equal to half of the amplitude of the ratio of the impedance increment to the corresponding resonant frequency increment divided by the ratio of the antenna resistance to the resonant frequency. 3.1.9 Antenna effective area (aperture)
The ratio of the output power at the output end of the receiving antenna to the power density per unit area of the vertically incident plane wave is the effective area of the antenna, also called the effective aperture.

5.5.2 Requirements for measuring equipment
According to the specific measurement requirements, select the corresponding measuring equipment according to the provisions of SJ2534.1. 5.5.3 Measurement of model antenna

When the proportionality factor is n, the simulation conditions that need to be followed are as follows: a. The size of the model antenna should be 1/n times the size of the prototype antenna; b. The operating frequency of the model antenna and the conductivity of the material used should be n times that of the prototype antenna; c. The dielectric constant and magnetic permeability of the material used for the model antenna are the same at the proportional frequency and the original frequency. In practice, condition b. may not be fully met. When the antenna radiation resistance is much larger than the loss resistance, the model antenna can be made of copper, aluminum or silver-plated materials with high conductivity, and the error is usually small. 5.5.3.2 The value of the proportionality factor n should be selected based on factors such as the size of the measurement site, the available measurement equipment and the required measurement accuracy.
5.5.3.3 As required, sometimes the model antenna needs to be installed on a ship (or relevant part of a ship) model of corresponding proportion to measure the antenna performance.

The measurement of antenna electrical performance is generally completed at the measurement site. Sometimes, as required, some performance can also be measured at the installation site. If on-site measurement is required, it should be specified in the product tactical technical requirements or product specifications. The measurement conditions and specific requirements of on-site measurement are specified by a special test outline. 5.5.5 Measurement of input impedance and voltage standing wave ratio The input impedance of the antenna can be directly measured using various impedance measuring instruments used in radio and microwave measurements. Generally, Q meters, slotted lines, impedance bridges and automatic network analyzers are used. In addition to being measured by slotted lines and automatic network analyzers, voltage standing wave ratio can also be measured by standing wave ratio meters and power meters. The choice of measuring instruments mainly depends on the applicable frequency of the intended instrument. However, no matter what instrument is used, the measurement site should meet the requirements of Article 5.5.1. Sometimes, in order to obtain antenna input impedance or voltage standing wave ratio that is closer to the actual value, measurements should also be carried out on a real ship or in accordance with the provisions of Article 5.5.3.1.

If the measured voltage standing wave ratio value falls into the suspicious band, the standing wave situation in the 10% frequency band around the frequency point should be studied in detail. 5.5.6 Measurement of Directivity Pattern

5.5.7.1.2 The standard gain antenna should have the following characteristics: a. The gain should be accurately known;
b. The antenna has a high degree of dimensional stability; c. The antenna should be linearly polarized, and in some applications it can also be circularly polarized. If it is circularly polarized, two antennas are required, one is left-hand circularly polarized and the other is right-hand circularly polarized. Whether linearly polarized or circularly polarized, the antenna should have high polarization purity. 5.5.7.1.3 The auxiliary antenna and standard gain antenna used in the measurement should be polarization matched with the antenna to be measured, and the standard gain antenna and the antenna to be measured should have the same feeding conditions. 5.5.7.1.4 The output power and frequency of the measurement signal source should have sufficient stability, and the measurement receiver should have sufficient sensitivity and dynamic range.

Connect the antenna to be tested and the standard gain antenna to the signal source in turn, and adjust the variable attenuator to make the receiving indicating device (electric meter, frequency selective amplifier or measuring receiver) have appropriate indication. Under the condition of maintaining the same indication level in the two states, use a power meter to measure the input powers Px and Ps of the antenna to be tested and the standard gain antenna respectively, or directly record the readings Ax and As of the precision variable attenuator in the two states. If the gain of the standard gain antenna is known to be Gs, the gain Gx of the antenna to be tested is obtained by formula (5) or formula (6): Gx = Gs + 10 × lg·p

b. The specific steps are basically the same as when the antenna to be tested is used for transmitting, except that when the signal source maintains the same power, the receiving powers Px and Ps of the antenna to be tested and the standard gain antenna are measured respectively. The gain of the antenna to be tested is obtained by formula (7): Gx = Gs + 10 × lg

In addition, the readings Ax and As of the precision variable attenuator when the antenna to be tested and the standard gain antenna are connected can be recorded respectively when the signal source maintains the same power and the two states have the same indication level, and then the gain of the antenna to be tested can be calculated by formula (6). 5.5.7.2.3 Measurement of circularly polarized and elliptically polarized antenna gain. For shipboard non-linearly polarized communication antennas, a linearly polarized standard gain antenna and a linearly polarized auxiliary antenna with relatively high polarization purity can be used to measure the gain of the elliptically polarized antenna. The configuration block diagram during measurement is the same as Figure 2. Use the precision variable attenuator reading. If the standard gain antenna is aligned with the auxiliary antenna, the precision variable attenuator reading is As. Connect the elliptically polarized antenna and keep the same indication level as the standard gain antenna, and the precision variable attenuator reading is Ax1. Rotate the polarization of the linear polarized auxiliary antenna by 90°, and the precision variable attenuator reading is Ax2 at the same indication level as above. Then the gain of the elliptically polarized antenna to be tested is obtained by formula (8):
Gx = Gs + Ax - As +10 X Ig(1 + 10% If the antenna to be tested is a circularly polarized antenna, formula (8) can be simplified to Gx = Gs + Axi - As + 3

When measuring, the polarization mismatch of the transmitting and receiving antennas makes the measured gain greater or less than the actual value. It is necessary to introduce polarization efficiency to correct the measured gain.
When measuring antenna gain using the comparison method, if polarization mismatch needs to be considered, use the antenna to be measured as the receiver. Taking the receiving antenna as an example, the gain of the antenna to be tested can be corrected to formula (13):

5.5.9 Polarization measurement
5.5.9.1 Polarization pattern measurement
Measurements related to polarization are generally completed in free space. 5.5.9.1.1 The antenna to be tested is in the transmitting state. The linear polarization detection antenna is rotated in a plane perpendicular to the incident direction. The polarization pattern can be obtained by recording the relationship between the relative voltage /U| of the detection antenna receiving signal and the rotation angle of the detection antenna. An example of the polarization pattern is shown in Figure 3. The major axis and minor axis of the polarization ellipse can be obtained from the polarization pattern, and the axial ratio and inclination angle t of the incident wave can be determined from it.3 Measurement of circular polarization and elliptically polarized antenna gain. For shipboard non-linear polarization communication antennas, a linear polarization standard gain antenna and a linear polarization auxiliary antenna with relatively high polarization purity can be used to measure the elliptically polarized antenna gain. The configuration block diagram for measurement is the same as Figure 2. Use the precision variable attenuator reading. If the standard gain antenna is aligned with the auxiliary antenna, the reading of the precision variable attenuator is As; connect the elliptically polarized antenna and maintain the same indication level as the standard gain antenna, and the reading of the precision variable attenuator is Ax1; rotate the polarization of the linear polarization auxiliary antenna by 90°, and the reading of the precision variable attenuator is Ax2 at the same indication level as the above. The gain of the elliptically polarized antenna to be measured is obtained by formula (8):
Gx = Gs + Ax - As +10 X Ig(1 + 10% If the antenna to be measured is a circularly polarized antenna, formula (8) can be simplified to Gx = Gs + Axi - As + 3
