Traditional near-field antenna measurements use the sampling theorem to reconstruct the antenna pattern perfectly. However, a large number of measurement points are required for this approach. To address this problem, in this study, we propose a technique to accelerate the near-field antenna measurement, which is achieved by sparse E-field sampling in the region where the E-field changes smoothly and dense sampling in the region where the field changes rapidly. Further, our approach ensures robustness of measurement; the E-field information need not be known before carrying out measurements. Our experimental results demonstrate that our technique can reduce the number of measuring points by at least 64.9% when measuring two different patterns (15-GHz horn antenna with θ = 0° and 10°).

As one of the active structural health monitoring methods based on the Lamb wave, the ultrasonic phased-array damage detection method can provide information such as damage location and range more intuitively, which is why this method is a research hotspot in the field of Lamb wave-based damage monitoring. However, the ultrasonic phased-array damage detection method intended for the far field is not applicable to near-field damage monitoring. In addition, the traditional one-dimensional piezoelectric phased-array damage imaging method suffers from a blind area in the near field, and the data collection time of its angle scanning is relatively long. In view of these problems, this paper proposes an omnidirectional damage imaging monitoring method, combining the near-field sampling phased-array damage monitoring algorithm and the two-dimensional phased-array. The proposed method is verified by experiments using complex composite materials, and the results obtained show that the proposed omnidirectional near-field sampling phased-array damage imaging method is suitable for real-time damage detection in complex composite materials.
