In this paper, we will discuss the impact of mounting structures on the installed performance of phased arrays. In particular, performance data for the Conformal, Lightweight Antennas for Aeronautical Communications Technology (CLAS-ACT) antenna will be presented. Performance data from a series of mounting configurations will show that null depth and location is particularly susceptible to change while the main beam steering angle remains relatively stable. In addition, the Portable Laser Guided Robotic Metrology (PLGRM) system will be discussed as a suitable instrument for measuring antenna patterns in complex or difficult locations that are challenging for traditional ranges. The PLGRM system was recently developed at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Glenn Research Center (GRC) and deployed to measure in situ antenna patterns.
