Design of a dual-polarised wideband source antenna onboard an UAV for radio astronomy element characterisation

© 2017 IEEE. A new calibration method for aperture array radio telescopes, using a multi-copter as an artificial source in the near-field, is being investigated. A source with good polarisation performance extending the full instrument bandwidth is necessary to decrease measurement time and ensure a...
