The Influence of the Size of Square Dipole Probe Array Measurement on the Accuracy of NF-FF Pattern

The objective of this paper is to illustrate the influence of the size of the measurement plane on the accuracy of the far field pattern result using the near field square dipole probe array measurement to far field transformation approach. We are expecting that the larger size of measurement we choose, the more accuracy result we will get, so the question is what the relation between the accuracy and the size of the measurement plane is so that we can make a smart choice to get the accurate enough result efficiently. Sample numerical results are presented to illustrate how accurate it can be and what the relation between the size of the near field measurement plane and the accuracy of the final result is.
