A near-field to far-field transformation based on the antenna representation by equivalent magnetic current (EMC) sources has been proposed and validated experimentally on large high-directivity antenna arrays. In this paper, the use of EMC is extended to the diagnostics of low-directivity printed antennas. The limitation of the near-field to far-field transformation applied to EMC models of low-directivity antennas, caused by the finite dimensions of the antenna ground plane, is demonstrated. A method to partially overcome this limitation by including the contribution of diffracted rays is implemented, and its effectiveness is demonstrated with antenna prototypes. It is shown that the agreement between the far-field patterns measured in an anechoic chamber and the patterns computed from the EMC model obtained from the near-field measurements is significantly improved upon, within a sector of ±90° with respect to the antenna boresight in the E plane. The influence of the near-field sampling density and topology of the EMC model on the accuracy of the predicted far-field pattern is examined 相似文献

Spatial sampling and filtering in near-field measurements 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A sample spacing criterion and a data minimization technique for measurements made over the surface of a plane in the near field of an antenna are presented. The sample spacing is shown to depend on the distance from the antenna to the measurement plane, and on the extent to which evanescent waves can be neglected. The near-field data minimization technique utilizes two-dimensional spatial filtering to effect a significant reduction in computational effort required to calculate selected portions of the far-field pattern. Far-field patterns of anX band antenna calculated from near-field measurements are presented and compared with those measured on a standard far-field range. The far-field calculations are repeated for several near-field sample spacings and for various post-filter sample rates. 相似文献

For part 1 see ibid. vol.47, no.9, p.1280 (1994). Two computation schemes for calculating the far-field pattern in the time domain from sampled near-field data are developed and applied. The sampled near-field data consists of the values of the field on the scan plane measured at discrete times and at discrete points on the scan plane. The first computation scheme is based on a frequency-domain near-field to far-field formula and applies frequency-domain sampling theorems to the computed frequency-domain near field. The second computation scheme is based on a time-domain near-field to far-field formula and computes the time-domain far field directly from the time-domain near field. A time-domain sampling theorem is derived to determine the spacing between sample points on the scan plane. The computer time for each of the two schemes is determined and numerical examples illustrate the use and the general properties of the schemes. For large antennas the frequency-domain computation scheme takes less time to compute the full far field than the time-domain computation scheme. However, the time-domain computation scheme is simpler, more direct, and easier to program. It is also found that planar time-domain near-field antenna measurements, unlike single-frequency near-field measurements, have the capability of eliminating the error caused by the finite scan plane, and thus can be applied to broadbeam antennas 相似文献

The possibilities of applying far-field, near-field, and compact-range techniques to reflector antennas in the THz frequency range are discussed. Other methods, such as defocusing and combining of the mechanical-reflector-surface measurements and the feed-horn-radiation patterns, are also discussed. A recently introduced hologram type of compact range is described. It may be concluded from the analysis of the different methods that the far-field method can be discarded due to atmospheric effects. The near-field method remains a possibility. However, an expensive, high-quality, moving stage is needed, and phase errors caused by flexible cables have to be dealt with. In some cases, a defocusing method, to bring the far field closer, may prove to be practical. Technically, the most-feasible and least-expensive method appears to be the hologram type of compact range. In this method, a planar-amplitude hologram is used to form the required plane wave. The hologram is inexpensive to manufacture, and it is also less sensitive to surface-accuracy errors than a reflector 相似文献

Near-field antenna measurements combined with a near-field far-field transformation are an established antenna characterization technique. The approach avoids far-field measurements and offers a wide area of post-processing possibilities including radiation pattern determination and diagnostic methods. In this paper, a near-field far-field transformation algorithm employing plane wave expansion is presented and applied to the case of spherical near-field measurements. Compared to existing algorithms, this approach exploits the benefits of diagonalized translation operators, known from fast multipole methods. Due to the plane wave based field representation, a probe correction, using directly the probe's far-field pattern can easily be integrated into the transformation. Hence, it is possible to perform a full probe correction for arbitrary field probes with almost no additional effort. In contrast to other plane wave techniques, like holographic projections, which are suitable for highly directive antennas, the presented approach is applicable for arbitrary radiating structures. Major advantages are low computational effort with respect to the coupling matrix elements owing to the use of diagonalized translation operators and the efficient correction of arbitrary field probes. Also, irregular measurement grids can be handled with little additional effort. 相似文献

Numerical investigation of scattering electromagnetic plane waves by a circular conducting cylinder is considered. The results presented are 1) validity of asymptotic far-field expressions when it is applied to calculate near-field around the cylinder and 2) equicontours of amplitude and phase of total field around the cylinder. 相似文献

It is well-known that the far field of an arbitrary antenna may be calculated from near-field measurements. Among various possible nearfield scan geometries, the planar configuration has attracted considerable attention. In the past the planar configuration has been used with a probe scanning a rectangular geometry in the near field, and computation of the far field has been made with a two-dimensional fast Fourier transform (FFT). The applicability of the planar configuration with a probe scanning a polar geometry is investigated. The measurement process is represented as a convolution derivable from the reciprocity theorem. The concept of probe compensation as a deconvolution is then discussed with numerical results presented to verify the accuracy of the method. The far field is constructed using the Jacobi-Bessel series expansion and its utility relative to the FFT in polar geometry is examined. Finally, the far-field pattern of the Viking high gain antenna is constructed from the plane-polar near-field measured data and compared with the previously measured far-field pattern. Some unique mechanical and electrical advantages of the plane-polar configuration for determining the far-field pattern of large and gravitationally sensitive space antennas are discussed. The time convention exp (j omega r ) is used but is suppressed in the formulations. 相似文献

Recent planar near-field scanning tests with ultralow-sidelobe antennas have confirmed that random near-field measurement errors will ultimately limit the accuracy of far-field patterns. A formulation is outlined for estimating the spectral signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) arising from noncorrectable near-field random measurement errors. The formulation applies to arbitrarily directive test antennas and probes-even nulling probes. A far-field parameter, called the scan plane coupling factor, may be computed directly from the near-field data, and then used to form the spectral SNR. The accuracy of the spectral SNR is confirmed by simulation and by actual tests with low-sidelobe AWACS array antenna 相似文献

Reflector antenna fields--An exact aperture-like approach 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Bucci O. Franceschetti G. Pierri R. 《Antennas and Propagation, IEEE Transactions on》1981,29(4):580-586
A new computational approach is presented which allows fast analysis of radiation from large reflector antennas. For an aperture a Fourier transform (FT) relationship does exist between far-field and aperture distribution. Accordingly, the far field can be exactly reconstructed from the knowledge of approximately one sample per lobe (Shannon-Whittaker theorem applied at Nyquist rate). The finite reflector curvature introduces an extra factor in the radiation integral so that the radiation integral is no longer a FT. In order to overcome this difficulty a new pseudosampling expansion, which explicitly takes into account the extra factor, is developed. For parabolic reflector the sampling functions are related to the Fresnel integrals, and the far field can be exactly reconstructed in terms of aperture far-field samples, which can be computed using the fast Fourier transform (FFT). Numerical computations and error analysis show the excellent performance of the method, which can be generalized to deal with arbitrary reflector surfaces and near-field evaluation. 相似文献

天线的远场对于研究天线辐射特性具有重大意义,近场测量技术因其能够避免直接测量远场而得到广泛应用,该技术采用近远场变换获得远场,然而,检验该远场的准确性也是很重要的.为了解决此类问题,文中以球面近场测量为例,提供了一种解决方案.该方案主要探讨了球面波模式展开理论,该理论是实现球面近远场变换算法的关键,其将待测天线在空间建立的场展开成球面波函数之和,天线的加权系数既包含了远场信息也包含了近场信息.因此,不仅能够利用近场测量信息获得远场辐射特性,同样能够利用远场辐射特性反推得到近场处电场,这样就能检验由近远场变换算法得到的远场是否准确.文中首先推算得到了近远场变换公式,随后进一步推算得到远近场变换的公式,最后将本文算法计算结果与FEKO测量结果进行比较,二者吻合良好,从而证实了本文两种算法的有效性. 相似文献

天线的远场对于研究天线辐射特性具有重大意义,由于远场的直接测量有着诸多限制,近场测量技术计算远场因其简洁准确的特点得到广泛应用. 然而,传统的近场测量技术要求获取近场区的幅度和相位分布才能发挥作用,随着天线频率的升高,人们想要在近场区获取准确的相位信息变得十分困难. 为了解决该技术难题,文中提出一种无相位近场测量技术. 利用一个封闭面上的幅度信息重建或猜测出包围待测天线的球面切向电场分布,并采用遗传算法进行全局优化,其最初为四组随机数据,经过数次优化后将逐渐接近准确结果. 仿真结果表明,本文方法能够在忽略相位信号的前提下,计算出准确的远场辐射特性. 相似文献

An alternative method is presented for computing far-field antenna patterns from near-field measurements. The method utilizes the near-field data to determine equivalent magnetic current sources over a fictitious planar surface that encompasses the antenna, and these currents are used to ascertain the far fields. Under certain approximations, the currents should produce the correct far fields in all regions in front of the antenna regardless of the geometry over which the near-field measurements are made. An electric field integral equation (EFIE) is developed to relate the near fields to the equivalent magnetic currents. The method of moments is used to transform the integral equation into a matrix one. The matrix equation is solved with the conjugate gradient method, and in the case of a rectangular matrix, a least-squares solution for the currents is found without explicitly computing the normal form of the equation. Near-field to far-field transformation for planar scanning may be efficiently performed under certain conditions. Numerical results are presented for several antenna configurations 相似文献
