The influence of the scattering probe on the measurement results of electromagnetic fields by the monostatic Modulated Scatterer Technique

摘要

In this paper, the influence of the scattering probe on the measurement results of electromagnetic fields, with the use of the Modulated Scatterer Technique (MST) has been evaluated. Three chosen characteristic locations of field distributions have been analyzed. The distance between the scatterer and an object located in its vicinity has been pointed out as a dominating factor causing the measurement error. The error value has been shown as a function of the mentioned distance. Additionally, the influence of the dipole scatterer size on the measurement error has been analyzed.
