Application of Advanced Field-Reconstruction Algorithms

A general, accurate, and efficient stand-alone commercial program for antenna diagnostics, DIATOOL, has been developed by TICRA. The software reconstructs the field or the equivalent currents on a plane or an arbitrary 3D surface enclosing the antenna. The fundamental properties of the underlying field-reconstruction techniques have been reported previously, and the paper therefore focuses on the capabilities of the developed software by considering two test cases where real measurement data are employed.
