A Measurement System for the Position and Phase Errors of the Elements in an Antenna Array Subject to Mutual Coupling
When deploying large antenna arrays in arctic environments, a local measurement system may be necessary in order to ensure control over the position and phase of the individual antenna elements. In this paper, a method of estimating the position and phase of each individual antenna element in the pr...
