Sensitivity of Probes in Near-Field Spherical-Scanning Antenna Measurements

Published

Author(s)

Ronald C. Wittmann, Michael H. Francis

Abstract

We define and calculate sensitivity for several actual and simulated probes. Probe sensitivity can have a significant impact on measurement uncertainty associated with probe deconvolution in near- field, spherical scanning, antenna measurements.
