Abstract :
Large phased array antenna calibration using mutual coupling measurements is discussed in Aumann et al., (1989). We put forward a new way in which the whole process is unrelated to the transmitting signals in this paper. The statistics of the results are also discussed. Some experimental results are given and compared
