H Probe Usage
From ChipWhisperer Wiki
The CW505 Planar H-Field Probe (or another H-field probe) can be used to perform side-channel power analysis on a target without inserting a series shunt resistor. In practice this is very simple, it ends up requiring you to (reliably) hold the probe over the chip, for example as shown here:

Trace Comparison
The following shows the power traces measured using the shunt resistor:
And the same board (but with a higher amplifier setting) using H-Field probe:
