Two different measurement grid types are considered:

– The constant step size grid type has the azimuth and elevation angles uniformly distributed as in the examples illustrated in Figures M.1-1 in 2D and M.1-2 in 3D.

Figure M.1-2: Distribution of measurement grid points in 3D for a constant step size grid with ==15^o (266 unique measurement points)

– Constant density grid types have measurement points that are evenly distributed on the surface of the sphere with a constant density as in the example illustrated in Figures M.1-3 in 2D and M.1-4 in 3D.
