This book explores the concept of site attenuation, a measure of an open test site's performance used for antenna calibration and equipment emission and susceptibility testing. Typically, these sites consist of an obstruction-free ground plane and the hemisphere above it. The author provides a reference for measurement results obtained from a 30 m by 60 m ground screen, calculating ideal site attenuation and comparing it to the measured data. The book delves into the site attenuation parameters and provides mismatch loss analysis, offering a thorough understanding of how current in the receiving dipole terminal affects the transmitting dipole impedance. The discussion encompasses mutual impedance formulations, and mathematical equations for calculating insertion loss between two thin dipoles in echelon over perfectly conducting ground. The author provides insight into the limitations of the site attenuation measurement technique and discusses potential sources of error, emphasizing the importance of proper dipole positioning and the stability of the signal generator and receiving system. This book is a valuable resource for engineers and researchers involved in antenna measurements and equipment testing, providing a comprehensive analysis of site attenuation and its implications for accurate and reliable measurements.
