## Abstract A method to obtain a main plane far‐field radiation pattern of an antenna under test (AUT) from the correspondent main plane near‐field pattern in a circular scanning is presented. The method is based on the reconstruction of a set of magnetic equivalent currents radiating in free space

Abstract
The problem of rapid far‐field computation from near‐field samples acquired on a plane‐polar geometry is addressed in this paper. A fast processing algorithm is developed which uses the fast Fourier transform and the related shift theorem, by exploiting the convolution property of the radiation integral giving the antenna far‐field pattern. Numerical and experimental examples are discussed to prove the effectiveness of the proposed procedure. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract When the field radiated by an antenna is measured in the near‐field region, this must be transformed into far‐field. If a spherical wave expansion is used for this transformation, the transmission formula must be solved, and hence the probe receiving coefficients must be known. Normally
## Abstract Cylindrical near‐field systems are appropriate measurement systems for large L‐band RADAR antennas, because they can be measured on their azimuthal positioner, and the probe can be easily translated through a vertical linear slide. Thus, for large antennas, the mechanical aspects of the
