Abstract :
We estimate the radius of a perfect electric conductor (PEC) half-sphere placed on a ground plane, given six bi-conical antennas that suffer from manufacturing errors. The results are complemented by an analytical model of the sensor system and the scatterer. The analytical model includes the front-end electronics in combination with the antenna radiation impedance and the radiation field function.
