The Georgia Tech automated planar scanner has been employed to measure the forward scattered plane wave spectrum (PWS) for both a circular cylinder mast and a tripod open mast. The experimentally derived spectra have been used in a plane wave spectrum scattering analysis to compute the main beam gain-loss and pattern effects of the circular cylinder and tripod masts for a paraboloidal antenna. This investigation demonstrates the practical use of a planar scanner to obtain forward scattering patterns for complex scatterers.
