APPLICATIONS
The probe detects electric fields from 100 MHz up to 90 GHz. This frequency range covers the entire range of high frequency communications, right up to mobile radio and satellite links as well as radar-based systems for active cruise control and obstacle recognition. The linearity and sensitivity of the probe ensure its suitability for checking human safety limit values in the occupational and general public environments.
PROPERTIES
The probe is designed with mechanical and electrical properties ideal for field use. The probe head is made of foam material to provide effective protection for the sensors, while having excellent RF characteristics. The detector elements are also largely protected against overload, since their destruction limit is well above all the human safety limit values.
CALIBRATION
The probe is calibrated at several frequencies up to 60 GHz. The correction values are stored in an EPROM in the probe and are automatically taken into account by the NBM instrument. Calibrated accuracy is thus obtained regardless of the combination of probe and instrument. For frequencies above 60 GHz, typical correction factors were determined based on samples. These values are also automatically taken into account by the NBM instrument.
