Abstract

A new antenna measurement setup, the Antenna Dome, is being developed, which can provide real time antenna and beamformer measurements. In order to be able to validate this setup, an existing beamforming system will be will be extensively studied and characterized. Multiple measurement setups will be used, providing multiple measured characteristics. The result is an accurate statistical model for the steering system, and a comprehensive error model for the complete beamforming system, including the provided antenna array. This model will help in validating the functionality of the Antenna Dome, and ultimately will help in its further development.
