Abstract :
Two techniques are presented for improving the measurement accuracy of antenna patterns in the presence of stray signals, one is an extension of a technique described in Burnside and Gupta (1994), and the other is the use of a wide bandwidth signal. Both techniques can be used together for still better performance
