Abstract :
In the context of current/voltage sensing by electric field monitoring it can be of importance to amplify the effect of the field at the sensor´s head. We present such an amplification - or energy harvesting - device in the form of a simple antenna coupled with a liquid crystal-based sensor for the monitoring of high-power lines.
