Abstract :
The authors review the history of miniature electric field probes. They begin by describing growing environmental concerns about the biological effects of electromagnetic radiation in the mid 1970s. The importance of lead structure and design is discussed, and examples of two lead structures are presented. Design considerations for probes used in electromagnetic pulse measurements are viewed. The discussion indicates that lead bandwidths as high as 16 MHz are required for measurements of very short pulses such as those generated by a nuclear blast
