Abstract

An efficient technique is developed in this article to extrapolate the near‐field data falling outside the measurement region in the bipolar scanning. It is based on the nonredundant sampling representations of the electromagnetic field and on the optimal sampling interpolation expansions. The singular value decomposition method is properly employed for estimating the external data. This allows one to reduce in a significant way the truncation error occurring in the near‐field–far‐field transformation with bipolar scanning. Numerical examples assessing the effectiveness of the technique are shown. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
