On board antenna pattern measurements of geostationary satellite using spin coherent sampling method
Abstract
A method for measuring the two-dimensional antenna pattern of an in-orbit satellite is presented. A technique for removing error due to spin is shown. The measured antenna patterns of Japan's Communications Satellite using these procedures are reported.
