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. %L elediasc12878 %T Efficient Near Field Antenna Analysis using Compressive Sensing
