Uncertainty Analysis for Spherical Near-Field Measurement

Abstract
A general approach is introduced for estimating uncertainties in far-field paramenters from spherical near-field measurements. Although the analysis is incomplete at present, we expect that as the measurement radius increases, our results will transform smoothly to the far-field case, where uncertainties depend on the on-axis gain and polarization of the probe and on the measurements in the far-field direction of interest.Conference Dates
