Abstract

This paper presents some previous and novel developments in time domain antenna measurements. In particular, their implementation in compact ranges for antenna pattern measurements, the development of time domain holography together with their application to non-destructive reverse engineering and antenna diagnostics, and a pattern error correction method using super-resolution techniques are addressed. Measurement results for the phased-array antenna of the Envisat Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar (ASAR) and a standard gain horn illustrate the developments.
