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.ELETTRONICOenConference paper10.1109/ICEAA.2017.80656342-s2.0-85035129228https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8065634FIS/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
