Abstract
An extension of the sources reconstruction method (SRM) for antenna diagnostics using amplitude-only field measurements is presented. While previous works limit the application to canonical domain cases, the combination of the SRM capabilities for handling with arbitrary-geometry domains jointly with phase retrieval techniques, allows antenna diagnostics extension to complex geometry antenna and field acquisition domains. The consideration of the radiation inverse problem with a general integral equation formulation using arbitrary-geometry field and currents domains, and field phaseless information, supposes a challenging ill-posed problem that is solved using iterative minimization techniques for non-linear problems. Different examples are presented, from simple to general antenna diagnostics cases.Keywords
