Annotation: This paper briefly describes the main causes of elliptically polarized offset antenna beam squinting effects. Features of near field measurements that could affect beam squinting measurement are discussed. Good correlation between calculated and measured patterns for K-band onboard antenna is demonstrated. The basic solutions for squinting effect compensation are presented briefly.
