Near-field theory and techniques for wideband radiating systems at in-band and out-of-band frequencies

This report summarizes the results achieved to date in the research program concerning wideband in-band and out-of-band radiating systems. The research program is primarily devoted to a basic study of methods to characterize wideband radiating systems performance and the applications of near-field techniques to such characterizations. Accordingly, the overall research program is divided into four major tasks that are designed to provide a systematic approach to understanding and solving the complex electromagnetic effectiveness problems inherent in out-of-band phenomena.
