Abstract :
A novel derivation is given for the radiative coupling between two antennas. Compact range measurements are seen to be convolutions of the patterns from test and range antennas. The letter proposes that theoretical patterns should be similarly convolved for comparison, rather than attempting pattern deconvolution.
