Abstract
An electric field probe is disclosed as having an arcual shaped transmission line which is mounted over a substrate having a corresponding arcual shaped transmission line deposited thereon. The two arcual shaped transmission members overlap such that the electric field energy sampled by the probe may be communicated to a monitoring circuit or the like. Rotating the probe, varies the portion of the arcual shaped members that overlap thereby adjusting the physical and electrical length of the transmission line. Accordingly, the phase of the field energy will shift as viewed from the output port.
