In this paper, we propose a non-invasive imaging method of microwave near\nfield using a diamond containing nitrogen-vacancy centers. We applied\nsynchronous pulsed sequence combined with charge coupled device camera to\nmeasure the amplitude of the microwave magnetic field. A full reconstruction\nformulation of the local field vector, including the amplitude and phase, is\ndeveloped by measuring both left and right circular polarizations along the\nfour nitrogen-vacancy axes. Compared to the raster scanning approach, the two\ndimensional imaging method is promising for application to circuit failure\nanalysis. A diamond film with micrometer thinness enables high-resolution near\nfield imaging. The proposed method is expected to have applications in\nmonolithic-microwave-integrated circuit chip local diagnosis, antenna\ncharacterization, and field mode imaging of microwave cavities and waveguides.\n
