Abstract This article presents two practical applications of the Sources Reconstruction Method for antenna diagnostics and antenna manufacturing errors detection. The goal is to show the SRM capabilities to determine defective elements in antenna arrays as well as to detect irregularities in the surface of reflector antennas from the analysis of the aperture fields. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
