Broad Band sensors calibration by a GTEM cell

Increasing interest of public for non ionizing radiation hazard and local authorities surveillance necessity demand for easy to use, reliable measurement instrumentation. Triaxial sensors, with their inherent large frequency response, are excellent candidates to reduce in field difficulties related to narrow band tools utilization, as antennas connected to spectrum analyzer. GTEM cell is a relatively novel tool in EMC field, the use of which seems overcome some limitations of standard TEM cells and antennas. The continues improvement in theory of operation and manufacturing broadens its field of application from canonical electromagnetic compatibility radiated immunity and radiated emission tests. The large operation frequency range (from DC to some GHz) and the compact design, well suited to laboratory use, offers the opportunity of conduct fast tests at a convenient location. (author)
