The techniques for reconstructing antenna radiation patterns from near-field (NF) measurements have been widely investigated in the last decades and used for applications ranging from cellular phone antennas to large phased arrays and complex multi-beam communication satellite antennas. They have been proved to be an efficient and attractive alternative to conventional far-field (FF) range and compact range measurements. Moreover, NF measurements may be performed in a controlled environment, as an indoor shielded anechoic chamber, thus eliminating problems due to weather conditions (rain, snow, etc.), electromagnetic interferences, and other.
