The problem of the calibration of probes for near-field measurements at microwave radiators
Abstract
The measurement of the electric field intensity in the vicinity of microwave radiation sources is of interest because of harmful effects which high-frequency alternating fields can have on the human body. Very short dipole antennas can be used for such measurements. An investigation is conducted concerning the calibration of such dipole antennas. The characteristics of the probes are discussed and attention is given to questions of calibration in a waveguide. Aspects of error estimation are explored. The application of the described approaches in the case of a specific example is discussed.
