Abstract :
Arrays of microwave detectors based on short dipoles and Schottky diodes can be used for sampling the field near a scatterer. The use of such arrays requires a quantitative knowledge of the errors brought about by the couplings between the probes. A study of those errors is presented for several probe lengths and field configurations
