Abstract :
A method of locating defective elements in any planar array is described. The method consists of sampling the near radiated field over a plane parallel to the array and reconstructing the aperture field by applying an inverse diffraction transformation. Comparison with the known correct aperture field locates the defective elements. Some numerical results are presented.
