Abstract :
An error characterization tool is presented in this contribution to study the effect of mechanical and positioning errors in the near-field to far-field transformation and the computation of the aperture field processes in different planar measurement setups. Validation of the error simulation tool is made by comparison of the results with a set of measurements in a planar near-field range.
