Calibrating an antenna by determining polarization

Calibrating an antenna includes receiving a signal sent from a reference located within a region. The signal has a polarization within an expected polarization range. Polarization value sets are established in accordance with the expected polarization range. Polarization ratios are generated from th...

Zusammenfassung:Calibrating an antenna includes receiving a signal sent from a reference located within a region. The signal has a polarization within an expected polarization range. Polarization value sets are established in accordance with the expected polarization range. Polarization ratios are generated from the plurality of polarization value sets. A minimum polarization ratio variance for the plurality of polarization ratios is established. A polarization value set corresponding to the minimum polarization ratio variance is identified. A calibration correction is determined in accordance with the identified polarization value set.
