This technique is suitable for characterizing VHF antennas such as those for low-frequency radio astronomy. This paper presents some of the measurements recently performed on the Square Kilometer Array Log-periodic Antenna (SKALA), which has been selected as the receiving element for the Low Frequency Aperture Array (LFAA).ELETTRONICOenConference paper10.1109/APS.2015.73050752-s2.0-84953721290https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/7305075FIS/05 - ASTRONOMIA E ASTROFISICAScienze Fisiche Settori ERC (ERC) di riferimento::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
