b the measuring probe ms 2 is arranged at a height h r2 above the reference plane b accordingly the measuring probes ms 3 ms 4 are arranged at a height h r3 or h r4 above the reference plane b in this instance the measuring probes ms 1 ms 2 ms 3 ms 4 are arranged symmetrically for example about a plane of symmetry which is arranged parallel to the reference plane in which the test antenna ant is located this means h r1 h r4 2 h r2 h r3 2 u2212 h t between the test antenna ant and the measuring probes ms 1 ms 2 ms 3 ms 4 parasitic emitters ps 2 ps 3 ps 4 act as representatives for scatter field portions of the measuring signal produced on the ground the parasitic emitters ps 2 ps 3 ps 4 are assumed for the remainder of the operation to be at a known distance h tp below the reference plane b the parasitic emitters ps 2 ps 3 and ps 4 are further assumed to be at a known distance d 2 d 3 and d 4 relative to the measuring probes ms 1 ms 2 ms 3 and ms 4 the method according to the invention is based on a parametric model based on which the scatter field.
