Abstract :
We performed a comparison between the radiation pattern of a simulated antenna and its actual field measurement in the presence of a radome. The simulated main beam properties fit identically within the accuracy of the measurements. The side lobes levels are determined in the region of ±30° to within the accuracy of <;3dB in intensity.
