1. A test apparatus, comprising:
a receiving head configured to provide a measurement signal representative of electromagnetic flux received from one or more transmitting coils in a wireless charging surface of a charging device, wherein the receiving head includes an array of receiving coils, and wherein each receiving coil provides a local signal representative of electromagnetic flux detected by the each receiving coil;
a numerically-controlled stage configured to position the receiving head at a selected point in three-dimensional space above the wireless charging surface; and
a processor configured to:
cause the numerically-controlled stage to position the receiving head at the selected point in three-dimensional space;
use a plurality of local signals generated by the array of receiving coils to determine magnitude of electromagnetic flux or power received from the wireless charging surface proximate to the array of receiving coils; and
use the measurement signal to determine magnitude of the electromagnetic flux or power received from the wireless charging surface proximate to the selected point in three-dimensional space.
