Multi-Plane Magnetic Near-Field Data Inversion Using the Source Reconstruction Method

摘要

We deal with a specific planar near-field measurement system where magnetic field data is collected by a compact 2-D array of magnetic probes. To enable this planar system to utilize a more complete set of magnetic field data, we present a method that can invert multiple planes of magnetic data collected by rotating the antenna under test. It is then synthetically shown that by using the presented method the far-field accuracy of an inset-fed patch antenna can be improved compared to the original case where only one plane of magnetic data is utilized.
