Abstract
The main aim of the UAV-based
measurement campaign conducted at a station of the
LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR) in 2016 was to
validate the beam models for the LOFAR stations
including mutual coupling, i.e., without assuming
identical array elements. Such a validation can be
performed as a verification of all the embedded-element
patterns over the field-of view and the operative
bandwidth. In this paper, the most significant measured
results on the low-band elements are reported and
discussed.
