摘要: A new method is developed for determining the admittance or scattering parameters of an antenna array considered as a multiport network. The technique requires use hybrid junction to provide two different modes excitation at ports taken in pairs. It shown that by measuring reflection coefficients each port, both excitation, desired can be obtained. inherent errors are analyzed and discussed. Experimental results presented which illustrate theory demonstrate practicality procedure.
