Abstract :
A correction procedure is developed for the case of the continuous rotation of test antenna while performing fast near-field measurements. This general development is vital for the technique of modulated scattering which combines fast electronic scanning through the use of a probe array in one dimension and the rotation of the test antenna for the other dimension. A numerical simulation was performed to check the validity of the correction procedure. The correction procedure is not based on any interpolation scheme.
