Abstract:
1. An electromagnetic field measurement system, comprising: an electromagnetic field probe having an antenna section that receives an electromagnetic field, a retaining member that retains the antenna section, and a box section that receives an input from the antenna section; a radio wave absorber that surrounds a circumference of the retaining member of the electromagnetic field probe and a circumference of the box section; and a cable that extends from the box section of the electromagnetic field probe, wherein the radio wave absorber has a proximal end section provided close to the antenna section of the electromagnetic field probe and a distal end section provided remote from the antenna section, wherein a cross-sectional area of a portion of the radio wave absorber increases in accordance with a distance from the proximal end section toward the distal end section; and wherein the cross-sectional area is configured to be maximum at an intermediate position between the proximal end section and the distal end section or at the position of the distal end section.
