Abstract
When an antenna is first mounted on a test range and its radiation pattern measured, invariably one finds that the antenna is improperly aligned. In other words, the test positioner is not rotating about the antenna phase center (defined in some appropriate sense). Since for a variety of reasons it is desirable to measure the antenna by rotating about its phase center, a procedure is needed for its location. In this article, a method for locating the phase center of an antenna, from phase patterns measured on a misaligned antenna, is presented.
