Abstract
The main plane far-field radiation pattern of an antenna under test from the corresponding main plane near-field data, using a circular-line acquisition, is presented. The method is based on the reconstruction of equivalent magnetic currents (EMCs) using decoupled integral equations and one-dimensional source components. The resultant fast procedure is applicable to linear and quasilinear array antennas. Experimental data results and comparison with complete spherical acquisition and center-line acquisition are presented.
