Antenna, Radio: Testing and Inspection

Field strength evaluation

Worksheet:

Assessment of the measured values
- The measured values of the rear-window antennamust differ with the roof opened and closed, i.e. with the roof closed greater field strength values must be measured than with the roof opened.
- The measured values of the antennas in the side panels behave in precisely the opposite manner to the measured values of the rear-window antenna, i.e. with the roof closed smaller field strength values must be measured than with the roof opened.
- In the event of conspicuously low measured values, change the vehicle position and repeat the measurement.

Antennas in the E93 Convertible
In the E93 Convertible, different antennas are used. With the convertible top closed, antennas FM1 and FM3 in the rear window are used. With the convertible top opened, antennas FM1 and FM3 in the side panels are used. In the field strength evaluation, the field strengths of all six antennas are measured with the convertible top opened and closed.
