Abstract :
The authors present an inversion procedure for obtaining the current distribution on a tilted planar array from a cylindrical near-field measurement. The process is based on obtaining the planar wave spectrum on a tilted coordinate system from the cylindrical near-field measurement. The inversion procedure can be simplified in the case of planar arrays, provided that spacing between elements and the radiation pattern of a single element is known.<>
