This thesis investigates probing antennas within a small shielded test enclosure for IoT, Internet of Things, products for the detection of manufacturing deviations. The small enclosure forces the transmitter and receiver to be in the near-field. Shielding of the enclosure additionally generates a multipath environment, which becomes sensitive to displacements of objects such as wires or metallic
