The measurements-by-design (MebD) mathematically reformulates the NF prediction problem within a Bayesian framework, which is independent of knowledge regarding the nominal/standard antenna or a specific probing setup topology. Bayesian Compressive Sensing (BCS) is used to provide a robust and reliable solution for NF estimation across various application scenarios.}, url = {http://www.eledia.org/students-reports/878/}, keywords = {Antenna measurements, antenna qualification, compressive sensing, near-field pattern estimation, near-field to far-field transformation, sparsity retrieval, truncation error.} }
