Abstract :
A novel far-field measurement method for multi-beam antennas based on airship is proposed in this paper. The far-field tests of phased array antennas are firstly discussed and studied. Subsequently a labor movement source measurement method is proposed for multi-beam based on the airship. The numerical simulations demonstrate that the proposed method can accurately measure the far-field performance of the multi-beam antennas and suitable in engineering practices.
