TIA-329.1-D:2009 (R2013)

The test conditions, and methods of measurement of base or fixed
station antennas in the Land-Mobile Services are presented for
establishing conformance to the performance requirements. The
supplementary terms and definitions and the conditions of
measurement set forth in this Standard are intended for typical
tests and may be used also for acceptance tests.

For the purpose of this Standard, an antenna is defined as a
device for coupling a transmission line to space for the purpose of
radiating or receiving electromagnetic waves. It includes any
matching, balancing, phasing or other coupling devices up to the
point of connection of the transmission line. Base or fixed station
antennas are electromagnetic radiators or combinations thereof in
arrays used for the mobile communication services at the base
station or fixed station. [2]
