This paper describes a parametric study performed to investigate the viability of testing at frequencies above 100 GHz, using positioners implementing a theta/phi scanner. Parameters like probe radial distance, axis intersection and angular positioning are investigated to assess to what extent spherical near-field testing can be performed using commercially available positioners.
