Abstract :
The description of the automated system for near field measurement on a plane aperture up to 600*6000 mm/sup 2/ is represented. The system allows restoring a far field pattern up to -30 dB. The special attention is paid to the application of the system for "Baltica" sea port radar antennas tuning (10 sets are already customized). Antennas description, tuning procedures, examples of measured near-field distributions and restored far field patterns are presented.
