Abstract :
A method for modelling the radiation of an antenna under test from planar near-field data using equivalent magnetic currents (EMC) is presented. Micro-genetic algorithms are used to optimise each component of the EMC. Numerical results of near-field to far-field transformation are reported and discussed.
