Abstract :
This paper describes a technique for the determination and correction of probe antenna distortion from near field (NF) measurements. The purpose is to correct the near field distortion using directive probe when measuring antennas at near field ranges, and correct the calculated far field pattern (FF) when performing NF-FF transformations using inverse integral equation techniques (source reconstruction techniques)
