Theory of operation
The NS3’s patented design can be supplied with RF/microwave sensors
(2271/XX) that detect the electric eld over an extremely broad frequency
range regardless of signal type or polarization.
• The low frequency detector is a low-impedance, surface-area type
designed to detect the radial elds that are characteristic of low-fre-
quency communications systems. The diode based detection operates
in its “square-law” region to yield accurate results even in complex,
multi-signal environments.
• A diode-dipole antenna is added to complement the low frequency
sensor in the UHF region and to optimize detection of any and all
polarizations.
