A method for measuring a radiation field in the direct vicinity of a measured object is provided. One or more antenna measurement probe(s) are moved in any desired fashion within the radiation field, and a number of high-frequency measurement points is thus recorded. During the movement of the antenna measurement probe, a position determination of a respective antenna measurement probe is conducted simultaneously with or in close temporal proximity to the capture of a respective high-frequency measurement point, in order to assign a position to each high-frequency measurement point so as to generate a spatially defined measurement point cloud. Finally, radiation patterns at any distance from the measured object may be determined from the spatial measurement point cloud by means of a field transformation method.
