Abstract

A method for determining the aperture field distribution of an array antenna from near‐field measurement over the surface of a right circular cylinder enclosing the antenna is applied here. The approach relies on the concept of information content of the field. 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. In this article, we rebuild the field at the aperture from near‐field cylindrical calculated on the surface of measure, with dependence on the variable phi, and without dependence on the variable phi. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
