This paper analyzes the limited distance induced effects of measurement performance for GNSS anti-jamming arrays. In the case of fixed beam array
according to the conventional far field condition
when the distance between the antenna under test and the probe antenna is longer than 2
D
2
/
λ
(D is the size of antenna aperture)
the limited test distance has little effects of the main beam
however
the first null of the pattern is partially filled. In the case of adaptive array
the nulls are kept for the limited distance induced steering vectors of interferences will be compensated by adaptive weights. The gain except for the nulls has some changes
but the bias has no remarkable effects of average angular coverage for array gain. We claim that the capability of anti-jamming and the usability of the receiver will be kept
when the test distance meet the condition of minimized far field distance.
