Product Introduction 

The RadiSense 10 E-field sensor is the most accurate ultra-wideband sensor designed for electric 
field strength measurements. The sensor is small and fully optically isolated to minimize field 
perturbation.  
 
Applications for the E-field sensor are: 

 

Radiated immunity field monitoring 

 

Anechoic chambers calibration 

 

Field homogeneity measurements 

 

RF broadcast and welding radiation-hazard monitoring 

 

Long term field monitoring
