  • Abstract
    This article presents simulation results for characterizing an 11 × 11 antenna array using phaseless planar near-field technique. The outcomes of this analysis show that with the help of the well-known iterative Fourier transform and with minimal a priori information, the far-field pattern of the antenna, even with beam steering, can be reconstructed well.
