  • Publication number: 20190140007
    Abstract: An electric field imaging device is provided with which it is possible to visualize as a dynamic state an electromagnetic field intensity distribution and a phase delay/advance distribution in the vicinity of a product, using a sample of the actual product without lead-out lines. The electric field imaging device includes: an antenna which accepts a high-frequency signal emitted by the sample as an input; an electrooptic (EO) crystal plate which is a frequency fRF high-frequency electric field sensor; a flashing light source which radiates polarized light onto the EO crystal plate; an optical system leading to an analyzer for detecting phase changes in polarized light obtained by means of the EO crystal plate; an image capturing device which converts an in-plane distribution of optical beam from the analyzer into an electrical signal; and an information processing device which processes and displays an output signal from the image capturing device.

  • Patent number: 10145791
    Abstract: To minimize or prevent obstruction by a surface-mounted part or disturbance to an object to be visually observed, an electric field sensor is placed at a predetermined distance from a surface of the object to be visually observed, and a two-dimensional distribution of a high-frequency electric field is detected. Considering that the measured electric field distribution is due to an electrostatic field from the electric field distribution at the surface of the visually observed object, the electric field distribution at the surface is back-calculated from Gauss' flux theorem or the like, and the obtained electric field distribution is displayed or outputted. Thus, the electric field distribution at a position closer to the surface of the visually observed object is imaged while obstruction by a surface-mounted part or disturbance to the visually observed object is suppressed.
