Comparison of Sampling Methods for Total Radiated Power Estimation from Radio Equipment Integrated with Antennas
Summary :
EIRP measurement in the direction of maximum radiation has not always been valid to estimate the radiated power from radio equipments integrated with antennas, for example, integrated radiator with antennas shaped like the notebook-sized PC. Therefore, it is recommended that total radiated power (TRP) from equipment under test (EUT) should be estimated by integrating measured EIRPs on the whole surface of the unit sphere. In this paper, a conventional and some novel sampling methods for the TRP estimation, which were proposed to reduce the number of measurement points, are examined by using a measured EIRP data set and compared with each other. For a simulated radio equipment shaped like a notebook-sized PC, it is found that the equi-area and generalized spiral points methods are superior to the equi-angle method in terms of reducing the number of the measurement points and orthogonal three planes method is another candidate in terms of saving measurement time unless the pattern radiated from EUT is not so complicated.
