Abstract
An antenna calibration system and method utilizes both computer electromagnetic modeling and actual test fixture measurements for calibrating the antenna or multiple antennas in an array. Use of the test fixture measurements enables the calibration technique to account for design nuances or imperfections in each respective antenna to enable that particular antenna to be more accurately modeled for calibration without having to physically maneuver the platform to calibrate the antenna that is to be installed thereon. Use of computer electromagnetic modeling techniques then account for these design nuances or imperfections to provide improved modeling for calibrating the antenna on a platform prior to moving the platform with the antennas on the platform.
