What is truncation error in planar near field scanning?

  • A.Error caused by sampling the field at too coarse a spacing
  • B.Error caused by the probe pattern not being perfectly isotropic
  • C.Error caused by mechanical inaccuracy in the scanner positioner
  • D.Pattern error caused by the finite size of the scan plane

Answer: D

Energy leaving the antenna at wide angles misses a finite scan plane, so the computed far field is reliable only within a cone determined by the scan size and the separation. Enlarging the scan or moving closer widens the valid region. Sampling spacing, probe correction and positioner accuracy are separate error sources, each with its own treatment. Knowing over what angular region a measurement is valid is as important as the measurement itself.
