Abstract
This paper presents a hardware platform
for antenna array calibration research in tower top
electronics. The platform has eight phase and
amplitude controlled transmit channels and a novel
antenna coupler array structure which provides nonradiative
calibration capability. The phase and
amplitude of each channel can be varied between 0
and 360° and over 25dB respectively under full
software control. The platform has been used to test
and develop array calibration routines which achieve
amplitude variances of less than 1dB and phase
variances of less than 5° measured between eight
channels at the antenna connections.
