Why should you use PD IEC TR 63099‑2?
Radio over fibre (RoF) or RF over fibre (RFoF) refers to a technology whereby light is modulated by a radio frequency signal and transmitted over an optical fibre link. PD IEC TR 63099‑2 provides information on the current and latest applications for electric-field sensing using radio-over-fibre technology. Electric-field measurement systems are covered, which are practically in use or will be used soon. It will be beneficial to system developers and system users in the fields of electric-field measurement. As a Technical Report, PD IEC TR 63099‑2 contains no requirements and is informative only.
PD IEC TR 63099‑2 shows the system configuration of the 3-axis electric-field sensor using an LN optical modulator. The sensor consists of a sensor head, controller, single-mode optical fibres for signal transfer, and a spectrum analyser for signal analysis. PD IEC TR 63099‑2 also shows the structure of the sensor head. It uses an LN optical modulator, in which antenna elements are formed on the crystal substrate. These three LN optical modulators are arranged onto the three sides of a triangle prism, obtaining isotropy [1] 1. In other words, the three LN optical modulators are arranged so that they are at right angles to each other, and their maximum radiation angle from the optical waveguide is 54,7°, thus achieving isotropy. It is possible to measure the output on each axis after O/E conversion with a spectrum analyser and measure the electric field strength E. Using PD IEC TR 63099‑2 you understand the current and latest applications for electric-field measurement that use radio-over-fibre technologies.
