Abstract: A system and method for characterizing the performance of an antenna array in a locator device is disclosed. The system comprises a chamber having a locator device and a beacon device. The beacon device is disposed on a rail so as to move in a predictable path while emitting the direction detecting signal. A controller is used to move the beacon device and record its actual position. Phase or direction information collected from the locator device is then supplied to the controller. The controller then compares the actual position to the information received from the locator device and provides this comparison to the user. The path of the rail may allow elevation angles from 0° to 90°. Further, the locator device may rotate, allowing azimuth angles from 0° to at least 180°.
