A Small ELF Electric Field Probe

Abstract

The design and development of a probe for measuring electric fields at Extremely Low Frequencies (ELF) is described. The probe is spherically shaped and relative small (6.3 cm in diameter) and uses a fiber-optic readout to avoid unnecessary disturbance of the measured electric field. The probe is capable of measuring fields between 10 mv/meter and 100 volts/meter. Problems encountered in the design and packaging of the probe and operational data for the probe are presented.
