  • Abstract
    This paper describes a measurement process that permits an assessment of spherical near-field (SNF) measurement errors based on a set of tests that can be done as part of any SNF measurement. A test system has been implemented that, in an automated fashion, derives error bars for the measured radiation patterns.
