Abstract
Theoretical and experimental results have shown that a satellite repeater can be used to measure accurately transmit and receive gains of ground-communications antennas. The satellite provides a uniform phase front and, for any appreciable elevation angle, meets the height requirement as a boresight source for large-aperture antennas.
