Abstract :
Moving an antenna with respect to the center of rotation of an antenna rotator will change experimental recorded patterns. A theoretical correction for this situation is derived for gain computations based on pattern integration. Use of the correction factor enables an experimentor to obtain several semi-independent measurements of gain.
