Abstract :
A simple and efficient computer-controlled setup for measuring near fields has been realized. It uses the modulated scatterer technique, together with a homodyne receiver to measure both the amplitude and phase of the fields. To move the probe, a standard plotter is used. Special probes have been designed for measuring all field components.<>
