Phased Array

  • Record RMS every hour or so (on a calibration source it should be no more than 10). In observe log make note: 

  • "Array phasing with # ° RMS"
  • Reference antenna will show all IF's as 0 in F display. The other antennas should all be about the same and a low value.
  • If one antenna is not phasing (has amplitude of 30+ more than others), first try moving it off source then back on. If it will still not phase, take it out of array
  • To bring antenna back into array, manually command it close to the current source, then use
