Abstract :
The effectiveness of an optical-fiber-mounted electro-optic probe as a scanning electric-field-mapping tool is demonstrated in diagnostic measurements on microwave and millimeter-wave circuits, antennas, and arrays. A combined electric-field and thermal-imaging capability is also discussed.
