Radial Field Retrieval in Spherical Scanning for Current Reconstruction and NF–FF Transformation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a near-field to far-field (NF–FF) transformation for the case of spherical scanning using equivalent magnetic currents (EMCs) and matrix methods is addressed. It is based on the decoupling of the field components and the iterative retrieval of the radial component of the electric field. The technique is applied for far-field calculation as well as for the estimation of the current distribution of the antenna under test (AUT) using spherical near-field facilities. Results from measured near-field data of several antennas are presented and compared to those of the analytical solution via a spherical wave mode expansion method.

An Efficient Approach to Extrapolate the Data Falling in the Zone not Covered by Measurements in a Near-Field Spherical Facility
In this paper, a new and efficient technique is developed to estimate the near-field data falling in the blind zone of a near-field spherical facility, i.e., the region not covered by the measurements. The proposed approach is based on the nonredundant sampling representations of the electromagnetic field and makes use of the singular value decomposition method for extrapolating the samples ext...

In this paper, the experimental validation of a fast and accurate near-field – far-field (NF–FF) transformation with spherical spiral scanning for elongated antennas is provided. Such a transformation relies on a nonredundant sampling representation of the voltage measured by the probe, obtained by using the unified theory of spiral scans for nonspherical antennas and adopting a cylinder ended ...
متن کاملA Nonredundant Near-Field to Far-Field Transformation with Spherical Spiral Scanning for Nonspherical Antennas
A fast and accurate near-field – far-field transformation technique with spherical spiral scanning tailored for nonspherical antennas, i.e., radiating systems with two dimensions very different from the third one, is developed in this paper. To this end, an antenna with one or two predominant dimensions (e.g., base station antennas and reflectarrays) is no longer considered as enclosed in a sph...

In this paper, we present a direct optimization procedure that utilizes phaseless electric field data over arbitrary shaped surfaces for the reconstruction of an equivalent magnetic current density that represents the radiating structure or an antenna under test. Once the equivalent magnetic current density is determined, the electric field at any point can be calculated. Numerical results (bot...
