Abstract
A method and apparatus for measuring antenna radiation patterns comprising: an array of test antennas coupled to at least one transmitter; an antenna under test located proximate to the array of test antennas and a compressive sensing processor coupled to the antenna under test and the array of test antennas to control signals emitted and received by the antenna under test and the array of test antennas and processing the signals using compressive sensing.
