Algorithms and Numerical Techniques for Modern Antenna Measurements in MATLAB(R) is a landmark resource that brings clarity, transparency, and practical utility to one of the most complex and rapidly evolving areas of modern RF engineering. Written by recognised experts Stuart Gregson and Marc Dirix, this book bridges the critical gap between classical electromagnetic theory, antenna metrology, and the computational techniques that underpin today's industrial and research-grade measurement systems.
Drawing on decades of hands-on experience in industry, academia, and standards-driven environments, the authors present a comprehensive suite of robust, portable, and fully explained MATLAB(R) algorithms for processing, interpreting, and validating antenna measurements across planar, cylindrical, and spherical near-field ranges. Each chapter carefully connects mathematical foundations with implementation-ready code, empowering practitioners not only to use the algorithms but to truly understand them.
From coordinate transformations, polarisation handling, and far-field data extraction, to advanced mode expansions, probe compensation, measurement correction, and scattering suppression, this book provides a uniquely complete and practical treatment of the digital backbone of antenna metrology. The included modelling and simulation tools enable engineers to generate reliable verification data, explore measurement scenarios, and build digital twins of antenna ranges - capabilities increasingly essential in an era of automation and robotic measurement systems.
Whether you are a postgraduate researcher, antenna engineer, measurement specialist, or developer working with RF systems, Algorithms and Numerical Techniques for Modern Antenna Measurements in MATLAB(R) offers an indispensable reference that demystifies the "black-box" numerics of antenna measurements and equips you with a powerful, extensible toolkit for modern practice.
Stuart Gregson is director of operations and research at Next Phase Measurements and visiting professor at Queen Mary University of London. He has over thirty years' experience across space, aerospace, and communications. His work spans near-field measurement, mutual coupling, CEM, radome prediction, and compact range design. He has authored major texts, published extensively, taught widely, and received multiple AMTA awards. He is a Fellow of AMTA, IET, the Institute of Physics.
Dirix, Marc: -Marc Dirix is an applications engineer at Albatross Projects Belgium (Emerson & Cuming Anechoic Chambers) and a visiting researcher at the institute of High Frequency Technology at RWTH Aachen University. He received his PhD in information and communication technology from the RWTH Aachen University. He has twenty years' experience in designing and validating compact antenna test ranges, spherical and planar near-field antenna measurement ranges, and absorber material development.
