Abstract :
Microwave metrology of antennas is widely established for commissioning, quality assurance and diagnosis. Conventional schemes utilise the antenna as an active device in either transmit or receive mode. In a new approach to imaging structure the authors have studied the antenna as a passive scatterer from the point of view of its RCS. In this mode, the antenna response to an incident wavefront is dependent on its load
