Radiation Pattern Reconstruction from the Near-Field Amplitude Measurement on Two Planes using PSO
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper presents a new approach to the radiation pattern reconstruction from near-field amplitude only measurement over a two planar scanning surfaces. This new method for antenna pattern reconstruction is based on the global optimization PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization). The paper presents appropriate phaseless measurement requirements and phase retrieval algorithm together with a brief description of the particle swarm optimization method. In order to examine the methodologies developed in this paper, phaseless measurement results for two different antennas are presented and compared to results obtained by a complex measurement (amplitude and phase).

Far-field antenna pattern estimation from near-field data using a low-cost amplitude-only measurement setup
In this paper we report some results on the estimation of the far-field of an antenna by using a low-cost amplitude-only near-field measurement setup. A simple experimental setup is used to measure the intensity of the near-field of the antenna under test (AUT) on two planes. The measured intensity of the near field is then numerically processed to determine the far-field pattern. The results c...

This paper deals with a method of the radiation pattern determination of the directional antennas. The method combining both the functional minimization method and the Fourier iterative algorithm is based on the phaseless near-field measurement on two plane surfaces. The method is used for a reconstruction of the phase distribution on the aperture of the measured antenna, and for the determinat...
متن کاملPhase Only Synthesis of Antenna Patterns Using Iterative Restoration Methods
In this work, the method of iterative Fourier transform phase reconstruction, conventionally used in holography and optical image reconstruction, is applied to phase only synthesis of antenna patterns. The method is applied to two types of pattern synthesis problems: "main lobe beam shaping" and "side-lobe-level reduction". The proposed method is most useful in the efficient employment of attai...
متن کاملUnmanned aerial vehicle field sampling and antenna pattern reconstruction using Bayesian compressed sensing
Antenna 3D pattern measurement can be a tedious and time consuming task even for antennas with manageable sizes inside anechoic chambers. Performing onsite measurements by scanning the whole 4π [sr] solid angle around the antenna under test (AUT) is more complicated. In this paper, with the aim of minimum duration of flight, a test scenario using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) is proposed. A pr...
متن کاملProbe reconstruction for holographic X-ray imaging
In X-ray holographic near-field imaging the resolution and image quality depend sensitively on the beam. Artifacts are often encountered due to the strong focusing required to reach high resolution. Here, two schemes for reconstructing the complex-valued and extended wavefront of X-ray nano-probes, primarily in the planes relevant for imaging (i.e. focus, sample and detection plane), are presen...
