Abstract
A method for testing an antenna array uses a probe antenna to measure an RF signal antenna pattern of the antenna array. The method includes measuring the RF signal antenna pattern at a first position and at a second position relative to the antenna array. The first position and the second position are located at different distances from the antenna array in a middle field of the antenna array. The middle field satisfies near field criteria for the antenna array and also satisfies far field criteria for each antenna element of the plurality of antenna elements in the antenna array. The method further includes determining, based on the first measurement and based on the second measurement, the RF signal antenna pattern at a third position relative to the antenna array located in a far field of the antenna array.
