computational enhanced antenna and platform measurements / characterization

This contribution deals with practically provable ways to enable performance evaluations with infrastructures and/or times and costs that would not be possible otherwise. This involves large and complex antennas, or mounted on large platforms, as well as more conventional or simpler cases but where testing time is crucial. Typical examples are antennas for satellite applications, automotive radars, and 5G. The technologies involved in this report are based on adding information on the device under test via simulation of parts of the structure, and/or use of existing measurements of parts thereof. The methodology can be used also with non-canonical grids, and when only a limited number of measured points is available.
