Methods to Estimate and Reduce Leakage Bias Errors in Planar Near-Field Measurements

Published

Author(s)

Allen C. Newell, Jeffrey R. Guerrieri, Katherine MacReynolds

Abstract

This paper describes two methods that can be used to measure the leakage signals, predict the effect on the far-field pattern and correct the measured data for leakage bias errors without additional near-field measurements. One method is an extension and addition to the work previously reported by Rousseaul. Examples for both broad-beam antennas will be used to illustrate the techniques.
