Abstract :
This paper describes a new field probe taking full advantage of the 1: 4 OMJ bandwidth overcoming the aperture size problem by applying different apertures on the same OMJ. The apertures are circularly symmetric so the exchange of apertures can be performed rapidly without the need to repeat calibration and alignment procedures for the full probe.
