Calibration of a Smart Antenna for Carrying Out Vector Channel Sounding at 1.9 GHz

  • Chapter
Book cover Wireless Personal Communications

Part of the book series: The International Series in Engineering and Computer Science ((SECS,volume 482))

Abstract

In this paper, we present the results of calibration tests carried out with a circular antenna array. We present results showing how the calibration changes with time and temperature, a method to estimate the mutual coupling between elements and we investigate a method for easily keeping track of the calibration with time.
