Hollow-Spherical Dipole D-Dot Sensor (HSD-4) Development.

Abstract

The report describes a hollow spherical dipole D-dot sensor (model HSD-4). It consists of two hemispherical conducting shells on opposite sides of a ground plate and produces a current output in response to a time-variant D-field perpendicular to the ground plate. The sensor is a scaled-down version of a larger hollow spherical dipole (model HSD-2), but with less sensitivity and higher frequency response. The theory of operation design, and construction of the sensor, and prototype testing and test results are discussed.
