Radial

Measurement Geometry
Describes measurements that extend outward from a central origin point in all directions, like spokes on a wheel. In our reports, radial scan data means measurements were taken along a straight path from the center of the accessory outward, and calculations such as Weber flux use the radial geometry to estimate the full circular field distribution.
A top-down scan grid over a round accessoryA round accessory seen from above with measurement points stepped outward from the center along four axes at a fixed spacing. A couple of points sit past the accessory edge to capture the field as it falls off.Point spacingOrigin (center)Accessory edgeX axisY axisExtra points beyond the edgeThe engineer measures the field twice as far apart once past the accessory edge.© 2026 Gauss Labs
The field is measured on a grid. Starting at the center, the test engineer steps a probe outward along each axis at a fixed point spacing, taking a reading at every point, and continues a little past the accessory edge to catch the field as it fades. The origin is the center of the accessory surface.
