Abstract

This paper aims at investigating the influence of the dielectric support on the indications of single axis and three-axis low frequency electric field meters obtained during their calibration. The modification of the calibration field due to the dielectric support, experienced by the meter probe, is predicted by a Boundary Element model and experimentally compared with the actual probe indication, considering both a parallel plate set-up and a TEM cell for the generation of the reference field. The perturbing effect, estimated for different dielectric supports, is found to be greatly amplified and frequency dependent when considering lossy dielectric materials.
