The mathematical absorber reflection suppression (MARS) technique has been used to identify and then suppress the effects\r\nof spurious scattering within spherical, cylindrical, and planar near-field antenna measurement systems, compact antenna test\r\nranges (CATRs), and far-field measurement facilities for some time now. The recent development of a general-purpose threedimensional\r\ncomputational electromagnetic model of a spherical antenna test system has enabled the MARS measurement and\r\npostprocessing technique to be further investigated. This paper provides an overview of the far-field MARS technique and presents\r\nan introduction to the computational electromagnetic range model. Preliminary results of computational electromagnetic range\r\nsimulations that replicate typical MARS measurement configurations are presented and discussed which, for the first time, confirm\r\nthrough simulation many of the observations that have previously been noted using purely empirical techniques.
