Near-Field Measurements

Near-field measurements involve analyzing electromagnetic signals very close to a device or antenna to accurately determine its performance and characteristics. Unlike far-field measurements, which are taken at a distance where the signal appears uniform, near-field testing examines the detailed field patterns right next to the device. This approach helps engineers identify and correct issues, optimize designs, and ensure compliance with specifications. It’s a precise and reliable method used in industries like wireless communications, radar, and antenna manufacturing to improve device efficiency and performance.
