Toward Standard Near-Field Measurement Solutions for Stochastic Electromagnetic Fields

This paper investigates directions towards standardization of Near-Field measurement solutions for stochastic electromagnetic fields. A proposal for standardization of Near-Field measurement of Stochastic Electromagnetic Fields led by the European COST Action 1407 is being initiated. An overview of Single-Probe, Dual-probe and Multi-Probe Array based measurements for deterministic fields is given and their capabilities and performances including test-time for industrial deployment are discussed. Importance of Field-Field correlation based analysis is underlined both from an experimental and modeling stand points and finally for combination of measurements and fullwave EM modeling.
