Abstract
The use of the basic large-current radiator-discussed in a previous paper-and the Hertzian electric dipole as sensor is investigated. If the sensor works into a large resistive load, typically implemented by an emitter follower, its output voltage varies like the electric field strength, while a capacitive load produces an output voltage proportionate to the integral of the field strength. The maximum energy is transferred to a load impedance that is equal to the radiation resistance of the antenna. This is the same result as in the case of sinusoidal waves, but the radiation resistance for nonsinusoidal waves differs from that for sinusoidal waves. An effective aperture can be defined, which is again analogous, but not equal, to the same concept used for sinusoidal waves.Keywords
