A new method to avoid the truncation error in an- tenna near-field measurements is presented. The approach relies on the concept of information content of the field. According to this point of view, the truncation problem is solved by picking up the information that is lost due to the finite size of scanning area, in points of the space reachable by the measurement system. The method can be applied to any scanning geometry, including the planar and cylindrical ones, whenever the set-up allows to vary the distance between the antenna under test and the probe during the scanning procedure. Application of the method to cylindrical near-field scanning is numerically investigated, assessing the effectiveness of the proposed technique.

Abstract

A new method to avoid the truncation error in an- tenna near-field measurements is presented. The approach relies on the concept of information content of the field. According to this point of view, the truncation problem is solved by picking up the information that is lost due to the finite size of scanning area, in points of the space reachable by the measurement system. The method can be applied to any scanning geometry, including the planar and cylindrical ones, whenever the set-up allows to vary the distance between the antenna under test and the probe during the scanning procedure. Application of the method to cylindrical near-field scanning is numerically investigated, assessing the effectiveness of the proposed technique.
