Hybrid Measurement/Simulation Approaches for Antenna Testing

This work investigate the performance of a set of techniques to reduce the number of measurement points and then the associated measurement time, by introducing a set of algorithms able to perform fast antenna testing by mixing together measurements and simulations. More specifically, the following points will be investigated: 1) introduction of a new hybrid system that joins suitable simulations of the Device Under Test (DUT) and measured data; 2) definition of suitable metrics to evaluate the performance of the reconstructions; 3) introduction of a probe compensation technique able to take into account of the effects that a probe can introduce (due to the close distance between DUT and probe itself); 4) introduction of Reduced Order Model (ROM) techniques applied to the specific problem of antenna placing.
