A Portable Cost-Effective Amplitude and Phase Antenna Measurement System

This article presents a simple, cost-effective system for complex measurements of the field radiated by an antenna. In particular, the proposed architecture is based on an array of antenna probes connected to a set of phase difference detectors and a power detector. Phase difference measurements are...
