Open-Ended Waveguide Probe Model
NSI has
implemented an open-ended waveguide pattern calculator based on a
NIST algorithm (Yaghjian-1983).
The model
provides a far-field prediction of an open-ended waveguide probe with
an accuracy of approximately 0.15 to 0.4 dB over +/- 60 degrees in
Elevation and Azimuth.
The model
is best suited for multi-frequency data and for R&D projects where
far-field pattern files are not always available, or for cost sensitive
applications.
A comparison of
the NSI2000 OEWG model with measured probe data on an X-band probe
measured at NIST is shown in the plot below.
