IPITEK is developing electro-optically based RF sensors which can be used for high-sensitivity field measurements (electric and magnetic fields) over ultra wide bandwidths (beyond 10 Ghz) and can also be used to measure the temporal characteristics of EMP. Applications for high the sensitivity optically based RF sensors include electronic eavesdropping and HPM/EMP protected systems.

Polymer-Based Field Sensors

• Ultra high sensitivity over wide frequency bandwidths (beyond 5 GHz)
• Detects electric and magnetic fields
• Ultra wide Bandwidth, fast rise-time (Beyond 10Ghz)
• Non-perturbing to measured field
• Calibrated E-Field measurement
• Small size, can be configured in arrays
• Immune to EMP/HPM Damage (Measured fields in excess of 700 Kv/m)
• Potential for integration into HPM-hardened systems
