Abstract
A robotic near-field antenna measurement system allowing for acquisition over non-canonical measurement surfaces is presented. The robot consists of a six-axis robotic arm and a seventh axis rotary positioner and the created acquisition surface is parametrically reconfigurable. The near-field to far-field transformation required is also described. The success of the technique is demonstrated through measured results, compared to canonical measurement data.
