Abstract
Field-serviceable radio frequency modules can be achieved by replacing hard-wired radio frequency (RF) feedback paths with external near-field RF probes. Notably, the near-field RF probes may allow for the RF module to be installed/re-installed on a backplane or other support structure without fowling factory calibration settings. Multiple near-field RF probes can monitor a single RF module. Additionally, a single near-field RF probe can monitor multiple RF modules.
