A new method is proposed to analyze antenna arrays including mutual coupling (MC), which
is based on the concept of multiple scattering, and relates to the iterative Jacobi and Gauss …

Spherical Near-Field (SNF) measurements are an established technique for the
characterization of an Antenna Under Test (AUT). The normal sampling criterion follows the …

The 3-D characterization of radiating structures is a frequently encountered, and yet
challenging, procedure. The theoretical sampling criterion often leads to prohibitive …

The" location" of the radar is the reference location to which the radar measures range. This
is typically the antenna's" phase center". However, the antenna's phase center is not …

With any reflecting or refracting structure, such as a parabolic reflector or lens antenna, the
knowledge of the focal point is critical in the design as it determines the point at which a …

The phase center is defined as the point on an antenna from which the far field radiation
seems to originate. Phase center calculations are often uncertain and vague, and very little …

The 3D characterization of radiating structures is a frequently encountered, and yet
challenging, procedure. The theoretical sampling criterion often leads to prohibitive …

Radiation center, corresponding to minimized angular momentum, and traditional phase
center calculations are compared for a set of canonical antenna elements. By using …

Characterization of large antenna structures at high frequencies requires a considerable
amount of measurement time. This thesis establishes methods to decrease measurement …

A method includes defining a Center-of-Radiation Reference for a device under test, the
CORR indicating a reference origin of an electromagnetic wave pattern formable with the …
