摘要： Apparatus for measuring a high voltage electric field, such as may be used in simulating lightning strikes or the like on a test specimen, is disclosed. In general, a capacitive electric field sensor is disclosed which utilizes a pair of spaced conductors or electrodes and which is placed in the field to be measured. The conductors shield a device within the sensor which generates a signal responsive to the intensity of the electric field. This signal is transmitted to a remote data acquisition system by means of non-electrically conductive data transmission lines (e.g., fiber optic transmission lines) so as to electrically isolate the sensor and the data acquisition system whereby the sensor only minimally distorts or affects the field being measured thereby. A method for measuring high voltage electric fields is also disclosed.

摘要： A method for determining the far field radar signature of relatively large and complex objects, like a fighter aircraft, and the facility to provide the data for the method. The method includes reflecting different frequencies of near field radar energy off of an object while translating the object in a radial direction with respect to the radar so the resulting radar return includes a moving signal representative of the radar return of the object and a stationary return representative of environmental clutter. The environmental clutter and R 4 amplitude variations caused by signal strength variations due to the different overall reflection distances during translation are removed from the radar signal. Multipath reflections may also be removed. The resultant signal is transformed from a spherical wave to a cylindrical wave so that for objects having a major dimension that is presented to the radar with respect to a much smaller minor dimension at right angles thereto, the radar signature as determined by the method is almost identical to that obtainable at a far field radar range. In addition, the facility includes an electromagnetically shielded building, object translating devices with position feedback, object rotators, and a computer to perform the transformations.
