Abstract
A detector head for use in a measuring device includes a plurality of constituent measuring elements arranged in at least two blocks, each block producing an output signal of equal amplitude, and a phase shifter provided to shift the relative phases of the output signals of the blocks to have a predetermined relative phase difference, whereby selected higher-order harmonic components are cancelled from the resultant signal formed by summing the signals produced by the separate blocks of constituent elements.
