Abstract
It is known that the behavior of electromagnetic field probes is limited by the averaging of the measured fields over the finite size of the probe. This is the major restriction on the size of dipoles used in a very small array as an electric field probe. The two major requirements of an EM-field strength meter are:
-
1.
The type of measured quantity
-
2.
Accuracy of measurements
The first case should be determined by biologists and medical experts carrying out studies in the biological effects of hazardous EM fields. The exact specifications of this case have not yet been determined. This has led to the necessity of constructing a general purpose electromagnetic flux (mW/cm2) instrument. The second is an engineering problem; the accuracy should be maintained during measurement of any field irrespective of its configuration and in the presence of primary and secondary sources of radiation.
