About

Clive Parini is a leading authority in antenna measurement and near-field metrology, with a career dedicated to advancing the precision and efficiency of antenna testing. His research focuses on planar near-field antenna measurements, compressive sensing, and the integration of robotic systems for industrial antenna characterization. Parini’s seminal work, *Principles of Planar Near-Field Antenna Measurements* (2023, 18 citations), stands as a definitive resource, providing a comprehensive theoretical and practical foundation for the field. He has pioneered the use of compressive sensing to dramatically reduce measurement times in production testing of array antennas and radomes, achieving reliable far-field predictions from extremely sparse near-field samples collected by multi-axis robotic arms. His recent contributions (2024–2025) demonstrate how industrial robots enable flexible, non-canonical scan geometries, transforming classical antenna measurement into a rapid, automated process suitable for high-volume manufacturing. With a career spanning decades and numerous highly cited works, Parini’s innovations have directly impacted the aerospace and telecommunications industries, making him a key figure in modern antenna metrology.
