  • Method of protecting an RF receiver in a hostile electromagnetic environment
    Patent number: 5602387
    Abstract: A photonic electro-optic field sensor is positioned adjacent a metallic antenna. Polarized light is passed through the field sensor, and the degree of rotation thereof is proportional to the strength of the RF signal sensed by the antenna. The resulting modulated light signal is transmitted via an optical fiber cable to a remote signal processor and is photodetected before further processing by the shielded processor electronics.
