Phased Array Antenna Test Solution: Rapid OTA Calibration, Beam Verification, and Performance Characterization
Phased Array Antenna Test Solution: Rapid OTA Calibration, Beam Verification, and Performance Characterization
This solution brief presents an integrated system for calibrating and characterizing active phased array antennas used in satellite, radar, 5G, aerospace, and defense applications. It combines a compact antenna test range, PNA-X network analyzer, VXG signal generator, positioner, thermal-control hardware, and Antenna Measurement Toolset software. Keysight’s calibration algorithm measures and corrects the phase and amplitude of individual array elements, reducing calibration of a 1,024-element array from hours to under one minute. The system supports leakage correction, beam scans, radiation patterns, EIRP, G/T, EVM, ACPR, gain compression, polarization, return loss, sidelobe analysis, and thermal testing from -40°C to +100°C, improving accuracy and accelerating verification.
