Patent ID: 11916302

Abstract:
A test and measurement system includes a test and measurement device having input channels, a reference array of antennas connected to the input channels, one or more processors in the test and measurement device configured to execute code to cause the one or more processors to receive a first signal from a phased array of antennas connected to a device under test directed at a first side of the reference array, receive a second signal from the phased array of antennas connected to the device under test directed at a second side of the reference array, without moving the device under test, the phased array, or the reference array. A method of testing a device under test using a phased array of antennas includes tuning the phased array to a first location at a first side of a reference array of antennas, by adjusting a phase for each antenna in the phased array, receiving a first signal from the device under test at the first location, tuning the phased array to a second location at a second side of the reference array of antennas, and receiving a second signal from the device under test at the second location. A test and measurement device includes at least two input channels, an array of at least two reference antennas, each antenna connected to one of the input channels, one or more processors in the test and measurement device configured to execute code to cause the one or more processors to receive an input signal from one or more of the reference antennas, and measure the input signal from one or more of the reference antennas.
