Abstract
For measuring transient electromagnetic fields and related quantities, one needs accurate broadband sensors with simple transfer functions. The various sensor designs developed to achieve this in an optimal manner are summarized. Such sensors are designed for use either in a "free space" environment (such as in an EMP simulator or on a system under test in such a simulator) or in a nuclear source region that includes local source current and perhaps conductivity. There are now numerous designs which have been iterated for improvements over the last decade.
