NEAR FIELD INSTRUMENTATION
A.W. Rudge, R.M. Knox · 1970
A near-field probe for measuring electromagnetic radiation was developed that employs diode detectors and minimizes interactions with the field being measured.
Plain English Summary
The study describes the design, construction, and calibration of a prototype near-field electromagnetic radiation probe with output calibrated in power density. The project was initiated because of difficulties measuring electromagnetic radiation leakage from microwave ovens and the need for improved instruments. The field sensing device selected was a silicon point contact diode and the probe antenna type was a small dipole.
Why This Matters
The prototype probe used 1/16 watt 1 KΩ miniature resistors and a 500 pf microwave chip capacitor to confine RF to the diode circuit. The probe output was indicated on a vacuum tube voltmeter. The diode detector selected was a silicon point contact diode type MA 41512.
