  • Method and software for spatial pattern analysis
    Patent number: 9182435
    Abstract: A method and software implementation for spatial pattern analysis. A user-guided test procedure is implemented to measure features of an antenna under test to determine the antenna's far-field patterns. The antenna features include RF amplitude or phase, and position and orientation relative to a receiving object.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 28, 2012
    Date of Patent: November 10, 2015
    Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy
    Inventors: Jeffrey M Snow, Michael Schumm, William L Shaff, Terry Carlson, Carl Baker
