Abstract

Misalignment uncertainty is estimated for near-field scattering measurements from 550-700 GHz. After correcting translation and rotation error using a physical optics prediction, the mean calibration difference metric is improved by 2.46 dB, and with a variance of 1.07 dB within the band of 585-635 GHz.
