Abstract :
A low-cost automated measuring method is presented to determine the directive gain and relative phase of microwave antenna feed systems in digital form. Using large existing computer facilities, the output data may be used as input data to compute secondary patterns of arbitrary reflector antennas. The use of stepping motors is a key for cheaper and easier operations.
