High-resolution near-field measurements accounting for antenna/body coupling around 60 GHz

We report on a novel method of near-field pattern measurement at the surface of the human body model taking into account the antenna/body coupling at 60 GHz. The proposed technique allows for high-spatial-resolution and fast field pattern measurements. Numerical and experimental distributions of a 4-elements patch antenna array and a conical horn antenna are compared. Results demonstrated a very good similarity between simulated and measured distributions of the power densities. This technique can be successfully applied to near-field exposure assessment of wireless devices in emerging scenarios.
