Abstract :
A formulation for the sequential calculation of equivalent magnetic current (EMC) components from known near field data over a cylindrical surface is presented. The maximum likelihood method is used to obtain each component of the EMC. Numerical results of source reconstruction and near field to far field transformation are presented
