An electric field probe array including several dipole probes, each including a diode connected between two conductors with the diodes being collectively connected to at least two probe terminals. Also disclosed is a system for heating a target with electromagnetic radiation that includes a central control unit, a source coupled to the control unit with the source generating the electromagnetic energy at a frequency and power in response to the control unit, a radiation apparatus coupled to the source for transferring the electromagnetic energy from the source to the target and input circuitry connected to the control unit for indicating the status of the target whereby the operation of the system is controlled by the control unit as a function of the target's status. The input circuitry includes several electric field probe arrays where each electric field probe array includes several individual diode probes that each include a diode connected between two conductors with the diodes collectively connected to electric field probe array terminals which are connected to the input circuitry.
