Abstract :
In many antenna application cases, the phase center is not an important parameter, however, in some special cases, antenna phase center should be measured precisely. In this paper, a novel method for antenna phase center calculation is proposed. The calculation examples validate that this method is efficient and useful for actual engineering application.
