  • Abstract
    A modified small array technique for measuring both amplitude and phase of the active reflection coefficient is described. The method which does away with corporate feeding and phase shifters utilizes space feeding and employs a slotted line in the central element. Measurements on an 11 by 11 element array indicate feasibility of the method for simulation of large arrays.
