Abstract: In this paper, traditional measurement methods are described simply for earth station system G/T value. Measuring principle and procedure of active phased array antenna G/T value are discussed using outdoor direct far-field method, and measuring principle equation is derived. Error of G/T value measurement is analyzed, and results show that RMS error of G/T value measurement is less than or equal to ±0.422dB. Measuring result of S-band 19-unit array antenna G/T value is given, test result agrees with prediction result.
