Suggested signal generator-simulator for adaptive antenna test

Design synthesis and analysis procedures for nonadaptive antennas as well as for the adaptive type are highly developed and continuously being improved. For the adaptive antennas, range and field testing are still essential but are more complicated because of the larger number of significant variables. A suggested configuration for a bench-type compact signal generator-simulator for the development and test of adaptive (as well as nonadaptive) array antennas is shown.
