Abstract
A method of calibration a transmit (Tx) phased array antenna is provided. The method includes transmitting a first RF signal to a first signal chain associated with a first antenna element of the plurality of antenna elements, wherein the first RF signal is generated in the at least one transmit (Tx) section; transmitting a second RF signal to a second signal chain associated with a second antenna element of the plurality of antenna elements. The method includes determining one or more characteristics associated with propagation of RF signals along a portion of a calibration line disposed between antenna elements and adjusting one or more signal chains associated with the antenna elements based at least in part on determined characteristics associated with propagation of RF signals along a portion of the calibration line.
