Abstract :
The far-field gain of double-ridged guide horn antennas is determined by using the three-antenna method considered the phase center. The phase center is calculated using the finite integration method. The gain measured using the phase center is in good agreement with the theoretical value. The experimental results show the efficacy of using the phase center for antenna calibration.
