A Method for Estimating Antenna Gain via Near-Field Measurements

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and apparatus for computing the gain of an antenna under test (AUT). This invention further relates to an antenna operating above and in proximity to a half-space interface based on measurements of fields produced by the antenna in a near-field region.
