Abstract:
Abstract—This letter proposes three different near-fieldmeasurement
probes in order to characterize individual patches
on the surface of reflectarray antennas, both in phase and
amplitude. The first realized structure is a dielectrically filled
waveguide probe, the second one is a probe ending in a dipole
structure, and the third is a substrate-integrated waveguide
probe. Requirements for near-field probes in this application are
high resolution and reduced influence of the probe on the
examined structure. The ability of the presented probes has been
investigated by simulations and validated with measurements at a
frequency of 35 GHz at reflectarray structures, placing the probes
a few millimeters above the antenna surface.
