Near-Field Amplitude Measurement of Passive Intermodulation in Antennas

Near-field measurement method of passive intermodulation (PIM) in antennas is introduced. Scanning with a near-field probe inside an antenna structure is proposed to be used to localise passive intermodulation sources and, thus, to speed up e.g. antenna design. For the amplitude measurement a mechan...
