Radioelectric measurements on antennas

In this article devoted to radio measurements on antennas, we first review the field of antennas from various angles, without giving definitions, referring the reader to other articles devoted to antennas in the Electronics section of Techniques de l'Ingénieur. We then go on to explain what needs to be measured on antennas. This is followed by a review of the various methods of measuring the radiation pattern, and a brief look at other measurements.
