Abstract

In-situ monitoring of electromagnetic field distributions is useful for localizing and identifying EM noise sources, as well as for evaluating actual antenna characteristics. A couple of new techniques developed for in-situ measurement and visualization of electromagnetic fields are reported. At first, visualization of EM field distributions measured by a freehand scanning sensor on a live video image is described. Secondly, imaging of 2-d RF field distributions incident on a metamaterial absorber is explained. Then, in-situ visualization techniques for EM vectors and RF polarizations are discussed. Such techniques are expected to be quite useful for measuring EM field distributions in various scenarios in the fields of EMC, antennas and propagation.
