Abstract :
The good behaviour of the elevation measurement, using a 2D-DVB receiving array, has been experimentally validated in terms of accuracy and low sensitivity against multiple paths between the target and the receiver. The 2D planar array used could now be optimised, as several constraints considered during that validation phase seem to be no longer justified.
