چکیده

|We introduce a neareld to fareld transformation algorithm that relaxes the usual restriction that data points be located on a plane-rectangular grid. Computational complexity is O (N logN), where N is the number of data points. This algorithm allows e cient processing of neareld data with known probe position errors. Also, the algorithm is applicable to other measurement approaches, such as plane-polar scanning, where data are collected intentionally on a nonrectangular grid.

Planar Near-Field Antenna Measurements Using Nonideal Measurement Locations¤

— The standard planar near-…eld to far-…eld transformation method requires data points on a planerectangular lattice. In this paper we introduce a transformation algorithm in which measurements are neither required to lie on a regular grid nor are strictly con…ned to a plane. Computational complexity is O (N logN), where N is number of data points. (Actual calculation times depend on the numeri...

A Miniaturized CPW-Fed Tapered Slot Antenna in Lossy Environment for UWB Application in Breast Cancer Detection

In this paper, a miniaturized coplanar waveguide fed (CPW-fed) tapered slot antenna (TSA) is introduced for breast cancer detection. Here, a modified CPW to slot-line transition structure with an air-bridge is employed to broaden the transition bandwidth and increase the radiation efficiency. Through these applied modifications, negative features of the original TSA (limitation of transition) a...

Unmanned 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...

Verification of a near-field error sensor placement method in active control of compact noise sources.

Recent experiments in active noise control (ANC) have used near-field error sensors whose locations are determined according to the minimization of sound power. Sensors should be placed in regions where the sound pressure reductions are the greatest during sound power minimization of the ANC system. Near-field pressure measurements of noise sources with and without ANC were made. With the error...

Near-field Error Analysis for Arbitrary Scanning Grids Using Fast Irregular An- Tenna Field Transformation Algorithm

An extensive error analysis for arbitrary near-field antenna measurements is performed. Expressions are derived to estimate the far-field uncertainty using the available near-field data together with the measurement inaccuracy but, most importantly, without the knowledge of the reference far field. Error analysis techniques presented so far either assume a specific set of antennas or a specific...
