Abstract: | ![]() A model of an electric field meter with a dipole antenna is analyzed. The model takes into account the fact that the meter incorporates other elements with a conducting surface in addition to the dipole antenna, viz.: a matching device, a signal cable, and a voltmeter. Alternative forms of the measurement equation are obtained, which differ in the error associated with the currents induced by the measured electric field on the braid of the signal cable and on the casing of the voltmeter. It is shown that this error can be eliminated partially or completely by performing additional measurements with the dipole antenna in different positions.Translated from Izmeritel'naya Tekhnika, No. 2, pp. 45–48, February, 1994. |
