Study on a fast measurement method of phased array antennas

A fast method of measurement of phased array antennas called phase-shift measurement method is introduced in this paper. Since the antennas under test and the probe are stationary, we only needed to control the phase of antennas element, the method is actually an electrical scanning approach substituting the traditional mechanical scanning. The simulation of the process is demonstrated here to illustrate the efficiency and accuracy of this method.
