The inter-core skew of these fibers distorts the radiation pattern and has to be measured and compensated. We propose a method to accurately measure the differential delays remotely, after installation, without intervening heavily with the transmitter setup. The properties of the phase response measured at a distant receiver are exploited to acquire the differential delays among the antenna array elements. %G English %Z TC 6 %Z WG 6.10 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-03200651/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-03200651/file/484327_1_En_48_Chapter.pdf %L hal-03200651 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-03200651 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-WG %~ IFIP-TC6 %~ IFIP-LNCS-11616 %~ IFIP-ONDM %~ IFIP-WG6-10
