Patent ID: 8077098

Claim:
An antenna test system, comprising: a first section adapted to determine and output coordinate location data for at least a first portion of said antenna test system; a second section adapted to determine and output orientation data for at least a second portion of said antenna test system, said orientation data comprising multi-axis orientation data; a third section adapted for determining and storing a plurality of signal measurement data comprising amplitude data associated with an electromagnetic field produced by at least one antenna under test at a plurality of respective test control points; a fourth section adapted to receive said coordinate location data for said first portion, said orientation data for said second portion, said plurality of signal measurement data and producing a plurality of output data comprising compensated position data associated with at least one portion of said antenna test system comprising said third section, test location data comprising said coordinate location data, said signal measurement data and said multi-axis orientation data, wherein said compensated position data is determined using at least one said multi-axis orientation data and at least one offset data comprising relationship data associated with at least two portions of said antenna test system comprising said first and second portions of said antenna test unit; a fifth section adapted to output at least one spatial representation related to said at least one antenna under test based on said output data, wherein said spatial representation comprises said amplitude data of an electromagnetic field emitted by or received by said at least one antenna under test at one or more measurement locations comprising each said compensated position data point.
