Abstract
In this paper we discuss the results of an intercomparison for free space antenna factor measurements performed within the German Calibration Service (DKD). Three different types of antennas covering the frequency range from 30 MHz to 26.5 GHz have been calibrated in five different laboratories using different methods and calibration sites to obtain the free space antenna factor. The results agree well within the uncertainties specified by the laboratories suggesting that different approaches and different measurement sites to obtain the free space antenna factor are well compatible.
