Vector measurement of microwave interferograms with antenna matrix

Abstract

A new antenna matrix for vector measurements of microwave interferograms at frequency 2.4 GHz was developed. Influence of mutual couplings between antennas in the antenna matrix on measurement of microwave interferograms, particularly on measurement of their minimum values was studied. A simulation of corresponding measurement errors based on measurement of a, real antenna matrix, proposal and experimental verification of a new calibration and correction method are presented as well.
