Abstract :
An integrated probe performing phaseless near-field measurements on a polar surface is presented. The unknown near-field phase is computed by an interferometric technique used in conjunction with the minimisation of a suitable functional. A microstrip patch antenna for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) applications is considered to validate the method
