Abstract

Discusses various standard antennas for measuring radio-frequency electric and magnetic fields. A theoretical analysis of each antenna´s receiving characteristics is summarized and referenced. The standard probes described are an electrically short dipole, a resistively-loaded dipole, a half-wave dipole, an electrically small loop, and a resistively-loaded loop. A single-turn loop designed for simultaneous measurement of the electric and magnetic components of near-fields and other complex electromagnetic environments is also described. Each type of antenna demonstrates a different compromise between broadband frequency response and sensitivity
