An interactive demo of a prototype that uses thermal patterns to measure near-field antenna behavior.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-28 issue.
For
RF antenna test and measurement engineers
Worth noticing
The maps show EX and EY polarizations one millimeter above the antenna, including feed- and patch-defect cases.

Field notes

The described sensor is an E-field-to-heat transducer: it absorbs some incident RF energy, producing a spatial temperature pattern that a thermal camera reads. The page contrasts this parallel capture with conventional point-by-point scanning. Its stated sampling count and acquisition time are site claims, not independently verified here.
