| contents | A new, iterative algorithm is presented to calculate the Embedded Element Pattern (EEP) tranformation from a set of patterns computed for a uniform antenna port loading (scaled identinty matrix) to a set of those computed for a non-uniform one (arbitrary diagonal matrix). This method proves particularly useful when inverting the computations to derive the non-uniform entries of the arbitrary load, given the minimum number of EEPs necessary, which disposes of the redundancy of other matrix-based computations and leads to numerically stable impedance fault calculation. As the EEPs are envisioned to be obtained primarily through measurement, our method is also tested with the inclusion of various noise components and its convergence is evaluated, suggesting the minimum SNR and fading level of the measurement apparatus, as well as the optimal choice of reference antenna to minimise the estimation error. |
