A Field Iterative Method for Efficient Source Reconstruction Based on Magnitude-only and Single-plane Near-field Scanning

Radio-frequency interference (RFI) problems in modern electronic product become complex which result in the increasing number of scanning points. Conventional near-field phaseless source reconstruction methods such as double planes iteration method and single plane iteration method will spend a lot of time in both scanning and calculating. To save the calculating time and scanning time, an alternating iterative method is proposed for source reconstruction based on magnitude-only and single-plane near field scanning. Firstly, the single-plane scanning data is divided into two groups as group A and B according to the components, i.e. the electric field group and the magnetic field group for the four components, or
${H_{x}}$
group and
${H_{y}}$
group for two components. Then, the processed A and B phaseless data groups are used iteratively in the back-and-forth transformations to get the equivalent dipole elements. Under the premise of a large amount of scanning data, such as the simulation example, compared with conventional method filling the scanning data into a whole matrix, the proposed method can save 90% calculating time, especially the time in singular value decomposition (SVD) before the iteration. A numerical simulation and a measurement example is verified the effectiveness of the proposed method, which show a comprise between accuracy and efficiency.
