10. An antenna method comprising:
-
determining a quiet zone within a near-field of a reflector antenna and further away from the reflector antenna than a compact range of the reflector antenna in which a test field generated by the reflector antenna is substantially uniform and; positioning a test object within the quiet zone; and using the reflector antenna to measure the test object. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)
