Abstract:A set of calculable dipole antennas are developed from 30MHz to 1GHz, based on a set of commercially available precise dipole antennas and a set of specific S-parameters adaptors. The site insertion loss /site attenuation difference between simulating results and measurements is less than 0.9dB for different antenna heights, separations and frequencies. The antenna factor difference is less than 0.45dB accordingly. Because independent and more precise value can be computed from calculable dipole antennas, they are vital to solve the circular dilemma between OATS and antennas. The advantage of this solution is that calculable dipole antennas can be acquired based on some commercially available dipole antennas.
