We consider the inverse source problems with multi-frequency sparse near field measurements. In contrast to the existing near field operator based on the integral over the space variable, a multi-frequency near field operator is introduced based on the integral over the frequency variable. A factorization of this multi-frequency near field operator is further given and analyzed. Based on such a factorization, we introduce a single-receiver multi-frequency sampling method to reconstruct a shell support of the source. Its theoretical foundation is derived from the properties of the factorized operators and a properly chosen point spread function. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the multi-frequency sampling method with sparse near field measurements. Finally we briefly discuss how to extend the near field case to the far field case.
