This paper discusses radiation patterns measurements carried out on a 16-element array prototype with full digital beam-forming. A micro Unmanned Aerial Vehicle was adopted as the automatic positioner for the test source.STAMPAenConference paper10.1109/APUSNCURSINRSM.2019.88883212-s2.0-85075260768https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8888321FIS/05 - ASTRONOMIA E ASTROFISICAERC sectors::Physical Sciences and Engineering::PE9 Universe sciences: astro-physics/chemistry/biology; solar systems; stellar, galactic and extragalactic astronomy, planetary systems, cosmology, space science, instrumentation::PE9_17 Instrumentation – telescopes, detectors and techniques
