Abstract
Using computer simulation, several fundamental issues in planar near-field measurement are examined. The results indicate that some of the prevailing views of practices regarding the evanescent modes, the sampling and filtering of data, and the selection of the location and directivity of the probe are incomplete or misleading. In particular, the merits of using smaller low-directivity probes in conjunction with a closer probe-to-antenna distance have been found to be unduly overlooked.Keywords
