Abstract :
A new two-layer dielectric rod antenna was developed for near-field probing purpose from 2 to 8 GHz frequency range. The measured and simulated data demonstrate its superiority over other existing probes. Based on its performance, the antenna is not only suitable for scanning the near-field, but for feeding reflectors with small F/D ratios, such as compact ranges.
