Abstract :
A procedure for experimentally determining the correction coefficients for a dipole antenna was demonstrated. The resulting coefficients can be used to correct the measured tangential field in planar near-field measurements. The results also indicate the possibility of asymmetry in the dipole spectral response. The method described has been used to measure the far field of an isolated microstrip path using the dipole as a near field probe, in which case the measured coefficients are useful.<>
