Abstract

This article presents a novel technique to determine the antenna phase center. It relies on measuring the direction of arrival (DOA) of the radiated field. Therefore, no access of the measurement equipment to the antenna under test (AUT) is required. A direction-of-arrival detector is implemented that performs phase difference measurements in two orthogonal planes. Six-port interferometers are used for this purpose. By considering phase differences, the proposed method is robust against phase disturbances, which may occur at the feed of the AUT, e.g., due to flexible cables or rotary joints. Besides, impairments stemming from reflections in the measurement environment are addressed. Measurements of a K-band horn and a patch antenna in an anechoic chamber validate the approach. A single phase center is determined for each principle plane as well as for the 3-D main beam. In addition, the phase center locus is retrieved.

Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
