An efficient approach for the evaluation of the antenna directivity from a nonredundant number of near-field measurements on a cylindrical helix is here presented. It employs a formula in closed form for computing the total radiated power from the knowledge of the radiation intensity samples on the far-field sphere. These last samples are determined via a probe compensated near-field - far-field transformation. An optimal sampling interpolation formula is properly used for their computation. The effectiveness of the proposed procedure is assessed by numerical simulations.

Abstract
An efficient approach for the evaluation of the antenna directivity from a nonredundant number of near-field measurements on a cylindrical helix is here presented. It employs a formula in closed form for computing the total radiated power from the knowledge of the radiation intensity samples on the far-field sphere. These last samples are determined via a probe compensated near-field - far-field transformation. An optimal sampling interpolation formula is properly used for their computation. The effectiveness of the proposed procedure is assessed by numerical simulations.File in questo prodotto:
