Good and rather accurate method of the msm,below
breakout,is the system using a plane wave antenna
array.
I know about the plane wave antenna. The problem with it is how do
you calibrate it to read absolute voltage instead of just a relative
measurement?
I never understood how Dr. Resonance's calibration method with the HV
DC power supply was meant to work, since the plane wave antenna is
basically a capacitive divider, and those don't respond to DC. Did he
charge the toroid to a known DC voltage, allow it to arc to ground
and look at the magnitude of the resulting step?
I use a sort of "Ghetto" plane wave antenna composed of a metal disc
stuck on the end of a 100:1 scope probe.
