Monitoring of the MU radar antenna pattern by satellite Ohzora (EXOS-C)
Abstract
Accurate measurement of the radiation pattern of ground-based large array antennas in the VHF band has been a difficult task due to a large distance required to achieve the antenna far field in the vertical direction. A new system for a long-term monitoring of the MU radar antenna pattern has been developed using the Japanese scientific satellite Ohzora (EXOS-C).
