The paper deals with the diagnostics of realistic array antennas by exploiting phaseless measurements. Provided the number of faults is not small with respect to the overall number of elements, the proposed approach allows performing the diagnostics whatever the kind of radiating elements even if the measurement surface is located in the near-field zone. Despite the high non-linearity induced by the adoption of phaseless measurements, the underlying optimization problem can be cast as a Convex Programming one taking decisive advantage of the Compressive Sensing theory. Examples concerning 1-D array diagnostics are given for both cases of ON-OFF and phase faults.

Abstract
The paper deals with the diagnostics of realistic array antennas by exploiting phaseless measurements. Provided the number of faults is not small with respect to the overall number of elements, the proposed approach allows performing the diagnostics whatever the kind of radiating elements even if the measurement surface is located in the near-field zone. Despite the high non-linearity induced by the adoption of phaseless measurements, the underlying optimization problem can be cast as a Convex Programming one taking decisive advantage of the Compressive Sensing theory. Examples concerning 1-D array diagnostics are given for both cases of ON-OFF and phase faults.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
