  • Abstract
    In this paper, the design and the measured results of a compact active spherical phased array antenna (SPAA) are presented. Analysis is carried out including the effect of amplitude imbalances in the excitation in predicting the exact performance of the SPAA. The measured results are compared with the simulated results. Measured effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) shows close match with the simulated results.
