  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETECTING DEFECTS IN AN ANTENNA ARRAY AND/OR IN A DEVICE COUPLED TO THE ANTENNA ARRAY
    Publication number: 20180080967
    Abstract: Various illustrative embodiments disclosed herein generally pertain to detecting defects by using a radio-frequency debugging signal transmitted by a transmitting antenna array towards a receiving antenna located in a far-field region of the transmitting antenna array. The radio-frequency debugging signal, which is configured to provide information pertaining to a signal radiation distribution of the transmitting antenna array, is received in the receiving antenna and conveyed to a test unit. The test unit digitizes the received radio-frequency debugging signal to obtain a digital dataset and applies a back-propagation algorithm to the digital dataset for deriving a reconstructed near-field representation of the transmitting array.
