Holographic principles in antenna metrology at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths

Holographic principles used in antenna metrology at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths are discussed. Holographic principles may be applied, e.g., in determining the surface accuracy of large reflectors, in phase retrieval in nearfield antenna measurements, in antenna pattern retrieval through input reflection coefficient measurement with reflective load in near-field, or in producing the plane wave conditions for the measurement (a hologram based compact antenna test range).
