Abstract:
Systems and methods for detecting faulty elements in an active planar antenna array of an extremely high frequency (EHF) wireless communication device. A planar antenna array having a matrix of dual-polarization modulated scattering probes is disposed within a near-field region of the antenna under test (AUT). Electromagnetic energy received from the AUT is converted to a complex electrical signal that is modulated by an electrical modulation signal and radiated as a scattering signal. The resulting electromagnetic scattering signal, received and converted to an electrical signal by another antenna, is used in a holographic image reconstruction operation via a backward-propagation transformation to reconstruct the signal spectrum radiated from the surface of the AUT. A comparison of this reconstructed signal spectrum with a reference signal spectrum radiated from the surface of a known good antenna array enables detection of faulty antenna elements within the AUT.

Claim (Index 24):
The method of  claim 23 , wherein said processing said plurality of electrical signals from said transducer to compute an AUT plane wave spectrum function further comprises determining an operational performance of said DUT by comparing corresponding ones of at least a portion of said plurality of signal power differences with corresponding ones of at least a portion of a plurality of reference signal powers.
