Abstract
Calibration of a phased array antenna while the antenna is in service can be a complex and time-consuming procedure that affects use of the antenna and imposes an unacceptable overhead on the system. The procedure described herein uses a maximum likelihood algorithm to minimize the number of measurements, thus reducing the impact on the system and shifting the overhead to a remote site
