Experimental evaluation of broadband isotropic electric field sensor using three Mach-Zehnder interferometers

A new isotropic electric field sensor integrating three Mach-Zehnder interferometers into one small case has been developed. The three small printed dipole antennas are mutually orthogonal. Experimental measurements showed high sensitivity, wide frequency range and an ideal directional pattern.
