Abstract
A novel indirect measurement technique is developed in which the impedance of an unknown antenna structure is determined by measuring the change in the
impedance of a second probe antenna while the unknown antenna is loaded by different known impedances. The feasibility of the approach is demonstrated using method-of-moments simulations of the interaction between two dipole
antennas in free space. The simulation results are supported by measurement on two dipole antennas. Applications to the measurement of the radiation impedance at the interface of box and cable system are also presented.
