Abstract :
A method of measuring a two-dimensional radiation pattern utilizing the rotating element field vector method and an error correction technique is developed. This method provides precise measuring capability without moving an antenna under test and a transmitting antenna. It was found that this method is useful for precise measurement in a limited angle, such as null direction measurement of a difference pattern of a monopulse antenna.<>
