Ok, that's about what I thought you would do. Since it isn't in a controlled antenna farm, you get a functionality test, with an approximate example of the gain.
Thanks! -Chuck Harris OBTW, any luck fixing bad antennas? Azelio Boriani wrote:
I use a small power supply to feed the antenna (use a bias tee) and a DC block for the analyzer input. I have made a quadrifilar helix for the analyzer output. Set a suitable frequency range (1400-1700) and test. Yes, I have (at work) an analyzer with the S-parameter test set, so that no directional coupler and no problems, moreover I have new antennae to test to make comparisons but the results are clearly visible and you can recognize a defective antenna. Usually customers send in questionable antennae and we can tell weather or not they are really unusable: lightning is the killer.
