Far-field antenna pattern estimation from near-field data using a low-cost amplitude-only measurement setup
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 confirm the validity of the approach.

Electrooptic Mapping and Finite-Element Modeling of the Near-Field Pattern of a Microstrip Patch Antenna
A comprehensive electrooptic field-mapping technique is applied to the characterization of near-field radiation patterns above a microstrip patch antenna. The amplitude and phase maps of three orthogonal electric-field components, measured using electrooptic crystals above the patch, also have revealed the transition from the near field to the far field of the radiation pattern. In addition, ex...

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...
