Abstract
- This paper proposes an innovative functional testing methodology suitable for RF end-to-end antenna testing. Any measurement point requires mechanical movement and signal integration time to produce a sample; thus, the most radical way to reduce testing time is to reduce the number of required measured samples to a minimum. The presented approach exploits existing measurement capabilities, and allows a radical under-sampling via insertion of a-priori information by way of suitable use of advanced numerical modeling tools. The methodology can be used also with non-canonical grids, and when only a limited number of measured points is available. Experimental results are provided to show the potentials of the method.
