A near field 3-antenna method for short monopole antennas in low frequency bands

There are some measurement methods proposed for an electrically short monopole antenna. In this paper, a new three-antenna method for electrically short monopole antennas is proposed and investigated by a numerical simulation. The target of the frequency bands is less than 30 MHz. The results show that the proposed measurement method is available and effective to obtain the antenna factor of an electrically short monopole antenna.
