System and methods are disclosed for improving manufacturing processes, improving manufactured products, and improving deployed devices. The devices can be reconfigurable holographic antennas ('antennas'). Manufacturing test results for a plurality of antennas is collected. Field performance data and antenna management information is collected for a plurality of deployed antennas. Query selection criteria, machine learning correlation criteria and a minimum correlation threshold are passed to a server to query for matching records from a data store and to perform machine learning on the query results to generate improvements to processes, manufactured antenna performance and deployed antenna performance.

Antenna

Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for a free space segment tester (FSST). In one example, an apparatus includes a frame, a first horn antenna, a second horn antenna, a controller, and an analyzer. The frame has a platform to support a thin film transistor (TFT) segment of a flat panel antenna. The first horn antenna transmits microwave energy to the TFT segment and receives reflected energy from the TFT segment. The second horn antenna receives microwave energy transmitted through the TFT segment. The controller is coupled to the TFT segment and provides at least one stimulus or condition to the TFT segment. The analyzer measures a characteristic of the TFT segment using the first horn antenna and the second horn antenna. Examples of a measured characteristic includes a measured microwave frequency response, transmission response, or reflection response for the TFT segment. In one example, the TFT segment is used for integration into a flat panel antenna if the measured characteristic of the TFT segment indicates the TFT segment is acceptable.
