Abstract :
Large active phased array antenna calibration using mutual coupling measurements was discussed by Aumann, Fenn and Willwerth (1989). We put forward a new way in which the whole process is unrelated to the transmitting signals. The statistics of the results are also discussed. Some experimental results are given and compared.
