Aplicación de técnicas de diagnóstico de antenas para aumentar el margen visible y cancelar reflexiones

Abstract

A new method of array antenna diagnosis is proposed. The method uses far field information which it is possible to reconstruct the excitations of the elements and the field over the aperture of the array antennas, providing the module and the phase. A simple study of this module and this phase can detect errors, for example, errors in the alignment of the phase, connections or general structure of the array antennas. So, without a similar technique for antenna diagnosis, it would be necessary to check that elements, connections or structure. Therefore, when there are a lot of elements it would be a waste of time
