On the efficient computation of Fraunhofer and Fresnel region fields radiated by reflector and planar-aperture antennasComputation of fields radiated by parabolic reflectors and planar apertures is a problem of prime importance, and conventional approaches to performing these computations are often very time-consuming. The paper demonstrates the usefulness of a series expansion technique for efficient computation of radiated fields in both the Fraunhofer and Fresnel regions. The series approach is based on the use of the Jacobi polynomials. The application of the series method to determining the far-field pattern of the antenna from the near-field measurements for an arbitrary aperture antenna is also discussed.
