An effective near-field far-field transformation technique fromtruncated and inaccurate amplitude-only data

A general approach to the near-field far-field transformation from amplitude only near-field data is presented. The estimation of the far field is stated as an intersection finding problem and is solved by the minimization of a suitable functional. The difficulties related to the possible trapping of the algorithm by a false solution (common to any nonlinear inverse problem) are mitigated by setting the problem in the space of the squared field amplitudes (as already done in a number of existing papers) and by incorporating all the a priori knowledge concerning the system under test in the formulation of the problem. Accordingly, the a priori information concerning the far field, the near field outside the measurement region and the accuracy of the measurement setup and its dynamic range are properly taken into account in the objective functional. The intrinsic ill conditioning of the problem is managed by adopting a general, flexible, and nonredundant sampling representation of the field, which takes into account the geometrical characteristics of the source. As a consequence, the number of unknowns is minimized and a technique is obtained, which easily matches the available knowledge concerning the behavior of the field. The effectiveness of the approach is shown by reporting the main results of an extensive numerical analysis, as well as an experimental validation performed by using a very low cost near field facility available at the Electronic Engineering Department, University of Napoli, Italy     

A direct optimization approach for source reconstruction and NF-FFtransformation using amplitude-only data

In this paper, we present a direct optimization procedure that utilizes phaseless electric field data over arbitrary shaped surfaces for the reconstruction of an equivalent magnetic current density that represents the radiating structure of an antenna under test. Once the equivalent magnetic current density is determined, the electric field at any point can be calculated. Numerical results (both simulated and experimental) are presented to illustrate the applicability of this approach for nonplanar near-field to far-field (NF-FF) transformation as well as to antenna diagnostics. The results are presented using both theoretical and experimental phaseless data over one and two planes

Robust phase-retrieval for quick whole-body SAR assessment using dual plane amplitude-only data

A robust phase-retrieval method with stable convergence and backpropagation properties for quick experimental whole body specific absorption rate (SAR) assessments is presented. A combination of a fast and coarse method and a more accurate gradient-based method is used to optimise the overall performance. To prevent the solution being trapped in a local minimum, several initial phase distributions are used. An accurate measurement procedure has been developed which reduces measurement time by roughly a factor of 2.5?4 at common mobile communication frequencies compared with a volume scan based procedure.     

Maximum-likelihood source localization and unknown sensor locationestimation for wideband signals in the near-field

In this paper, we derive the maximum-likelihood (ML) location estimator for wideband sources in the near field of the sensor array. The ML estimator is optimized in a single step, as opposed to other estimators that are optimized separately in relative time-delay and source location estimations. For the multisource case, we propose and demonstrate an efficient alternating projection procedure based on sequential iterative search on single-source parameters. The proposed algorithm is shown to yield superior performance over other suboptimal techniques, including the wideband MUSIC and the two-step least-squares methods, and is efficient with respect to the derived Cramer-Rao bound (CRB). From the CRB analysis, we find that better source location estimates can be obtained for high-frequency signals than low-frequency signals. In addition, large range estimation error results when the source signal is unknown, but such unknown parameter does not have much impact on angle estimation. In some applications, the locations of some sensors may be unknown and must be estimated. The proposed method is extended to estimate the range from a source to an unknown sensor location. After a number of source-location frames, the location of the uncalibrated sensor can be determined based on a least-squares unknown sensor location estimator     

A novel hybrid approach for far-field characterization from near-field amplitude-only measurements on arbitrary scanning surfaces

A novel hybrid procedure is proposed in this paper for far-field reconstruction from phaseless near-field data. A basically interferometric approach is adopted to retrieve the near-field phase from amplitude-only measurements, which are collected by a simple microstrip circuit used in conjunction with two identical probes moving on the scanning surface. A certain number of sets of complex near-field data is obtained, apart from constant phase-shifts to be computed, one for each set. A nonredundant representation based on the introduction of the reduced field is then adopted to evaluate these shifts, with an accurate and fast convergence to the solution. In order to validate the proposed technique, an X-band prototype using two flanged WR-90 waveguides is successfully designed and tested on a cylindrical geometry for a standard pyramidal horn.
