Patent number: 8525744Abstract: In a method of measuring a radiation power generated from a DUT from an output of a measurement antenna, wherein the DUT is arranged in an ellipsoid enclosed space such that a radiation center of the radio wave is substantially coincided with the neighborhood of a first focal point. The radio wave radiated from the DUT and reflected from the wall surface is received by a receiving antenna arranged in the neighborhood a second focal point thereby to measure the total radiated power of the DUT from the output signal of the receiving antenna. One of the DUT and the receiving antenna is moved along the axis passing through the first and second focal points, and based on the measurement value maximizing the output signal power of the receiving antenna, calculating the total radiated power of the DUT.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2010Date of Patent: September 3, 2013Assignee: Anritsu CorporationInventors: Tasuku Teshirogi, Aya Hinotani, Takashi Kawamura, Toru Sakuma

Patent number: 8103470Abstract: In a method for measuring a radiation power, an elliptical mirror is prepared so as to have a elliptical spherical space enclosed by a metal wall surface, the space having a rotating axis passing through two focal points. A device under test is placed in a position of one of the two focal points such that a center of radiation of a radio wave substantially coincides with the focal point, and a receiving antenna is placed in an position of an other one of the two focal points. The device under test is caused to radiate a radio wave and the radiated radio wave is reflected at the wall surface to allow the receiving antenna to receive the radio wave. Then, total radiation power of the radio wave is measured at a measurement end of the receiving antenna in accordance with an output signal from the receiving antenna.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2010Date of Patent: January 24, 2012Assignee: Anritsu CorporationInventors: Tasuku Teshirogi, Aya Hinotani, Takashi Kawamura, Toru Sakuma
