Theoretical Considerations for a Thermo-Optic Microwave Electric-Field-Strength Probe

Publisher page

Abstract

Theoretical background for the design of a microwave electric-field probe is presented. The design uses a fiberoptic thermometer to measure the temperature rise of a resistive sphere or spherical shell in an electromagnetic field. Design parameters are chosen to optimize sensitivity and frequency response for the 1 GHz to 10 GHz range. These parameters also result in good frequency response well into the millimeter-wave range. Advantages of the design are that it is small, nonperturbing , and can be used in high electromagnetic fieids.
