Abstract

A UAV-mounted radio-frequency transmitter is proposed as a known reference field source to perform a set of functional tests on aperture arrays. The experimental results obtained on complete prototypes (end-to-end) and sub-assemblies provide good confidence on both amplitude and timing verification.
