Performance of Electromagnetic Sensor Based on Shorted Stacked Patches

The paper proposes simple electromagnetic sensor based on shorted stacked patches and provides study of its performance in comparison with commercially available standard sensor. The calibration curve was obtained across the whole operating (GSM 900) bandwidth and measurement comparison of the reference and test sensor with real GSM signals was provided. The sensitivity of the proposed sensor to various relative positions in space was also analyzed. The possibility of simultaneous measurement of field components was discussed.
