Abstract

High power microwave (HPM) weapons create large electric and magnetic fields with the purpose of disrupting electronic equipment. In order to protect electronics, the interaction between the equipment and the electromagnetic fields must be characterized. This requires a noninvasive sensor that can detect large electromagnetic fields and the sensing area needs to be in close proximity to the target electronics. However, to serve as a reliable measurement tool, the sensor must neither cause electromagnetic interference of its own nor disrupt the electric field it measures. Finally, the sensor must not be sensitive to electric and magnetic field interference outside the small sensing area.
