1.General information

1.1. Introduction

Figure 1

The SEP was developed to selectively monitor the electric field in a very wide range

and with a dynamic that is over 80 dB typically. Moreover, its data transmission

system, made of non-conductive fiber optic, increases its performances and accuracy

to perform measurements. His three high sensitivity axes allow the SEP to cover

different applications in the sector of electric field measurements.

1.2. System description

The SEP (Figure 1) is a small spherical measurement system, coming with three

antennas of the same size arranged on measurement axes that are perpendicular to each

other. It is also equipped with a non-magnetic stirrup for the fixing, a micro-USB

connector and two connectors for the fiber optic.

1.3. Composition

Provided with the instrument:

- Hard Case (41 x 35 x 20 cm)

- Plexiglass support

- USB pen drive with PC utility software

- Fiber Optic (10m)
