  • Patent number: 5168279
    Abstract: An antenna for sensing stray RF radiation, such as from electronic equipment, is positioned within a dielectric enclosure. For the case of a dipole sensing antenna, the enclosure may take the form of a clear acrylic (i.e., Plexiglas) tube. This tube assures that no part of the equipment-under-test can be positioned nearer to the dipole antenna than the desired distance (which is fixed by the radius of the tube). The dipole elements themselves may be maintained coaxially disposed within the tube by spacer disks. If the dipole elements are telescopic, their lengths can readily be set by attaching the spacer disks to the outer-most telescoping member of each element and moving the spacer disks (and in so doing moving the ends of the dipole elements) into alignment with markings disposed on the tube. These markings may be calibrated either in terms of distance or the corresponding resonant frequency.
