ELECTRIC FIELD SENSOR CAPABLE OF RELIABLY MEASURING AN ELECTRIC FIELD INTENSITY OF A SIGNAL

摘要

An electric field sensor comprises an electric field sensor head (13) for varying an intensity of a propagating light beam from a light source (19) in response to an electric field intensity of an input signal received by a reception antenna (11). A photo-electric converter (21) converts the propagating light beam into an output signal. A correcting device (27) compares the output signal with a reference signal to produce and supply a control signal to the photo-electric converter.
