Description
Radiation-hardened sensors are available in both free-field and ground-plane configurations:
| Type | Equivalent Area (Aeq) | Frequency Response (3 dB point) | Risetime (tr 10-90) | Max output voltage (pulse) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| RB100 | Ground plane | 2 x 10-5 m² | > 3 GHz | < 0.12 ns | 1 kV |
| RB40 | Free-field | 1 x 10-3 m² | > 300 MHz | < 1.1 ns | 1.5 kV |
| RB130 | Free-field | 4 x 10-5 m² | 2 GHz | < 0.5 ns | 1 kV |
Free-field Radiation-hardened Sensors RB40 and RB130
The RB40 and RB130 are small, free-field, mid-range frequency radiation-hardened sensors. These sensors were designed to measure B-dot fields in a nuclear radiation environment. They feature:
- High transparency
- Continuous aluminium cylindrical loop
- Dual moebius pickoff
- Totally encapsulated
The loop is attached to a copper tube which is normally 12 ” long and provides a capability for mounting. The output cables are 50 Ω semi-rigid type and exit from the tube. The length of the tube end is 18 ” but the tube and cable lengths can be varied to meet special needs.
