Near-Field Sampling Considerations for the Propagation of Stochastic Electromagnetic Fields

Near-field scanning is a well established technique to asses radiated electromagnetic interference. For stochastic electromagnetic (EM) fields, techniques based on field correlation analysis are required for accurate modeling. This requires two-probe scanning for experimental characterization. In this contribution, we investigate requirements for a near-field scan over a distributed source to assess the EM far-field radiation based on the scan.
