In particular, Bayesian Compressive Sensing (BCS) is employed which exploits the probabilistic sparsity and incorporates prior knowledge of the antenna under test (AUT) to construct an over complete representation basis. A set of numerical analysis is performed to verify the performance of the proposed method. In addition, the performance of BCS is compared with Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP). %D 2024 %I ELEDIA Research Center - University of Trento
