Array Diagnosis using Compressed Sensing in Near Field

Abstract

This paper will present a technique for array diagnosis using a small number of measured data acquired by a near-field system by making use of the concepts of compressed sensing technique in image processing. Here, the high cost of large array diagnosis in near-field facilities is mainly caused by the time required for the data acquisition. So there is a need to decrease the measurement time and at the same time the reconstruction of an array must be satisfactory. The proposed technique uses less number of measurement points compared to other proposed techniques like back-propagation method and standard matrix inversion method.
