Abstract
A new broad-band electric-field probe, capable of accurately characterizing and quantifying electromagnetic (EM) fields, has been developed at the National Bureau of Standards (NBS). The probe's 8-mm resistively tapered dipole elements allow measurement of eleetric fields between 1 and 1600 V/m from 1 MHz to 15 GHz, with a flatness of +-2 dB. A mutually orthogonal dipole configuration provides an overall standard deviation in isotropic response, with respect to angle, that is within +-0.3 dB. Both the theoretical and developmental aspects of this prototype electric-field probe are discussed in this paper.Keywords
