What does it mean if a pattern feature stays fixed in space as the antenna is rotated?

  • A.The receiver has lost its reference and is reading incorrectly
  • B.It belongs to the range rather than to the antenna
  • C.It is a genuine side lobe of the antenna under test
  • D.The positioner is slipping and not turning the antenna

Answer: B

A genuine antenna feature moves with the antenna, so anything that stays put in the room must be produced by the range, the mount or an external interferer. That observation converts a puzzling pattern into a localisable fault. A slipping positioner would show no rotation at all rather than a fixed feature on a rotating pattern, and a receiver fault would not produce an angularly stable artefact. Asking what a feature is attached to is the quickest route to its cause.
