Abstract

This paper describes an innovative test procedure for the characterization of a new field sensor prototype sensitive to amplitude-modulated signals and designed to be installed as a detector unit in an intelligent network for the localization of global system for mobile communications (GSM) cellular phones aboard an aircraft. The response of the sensor, expressed by the activation probability in a given operative condition, is obtained as a function of frequency, voltage supply, and incident field level.
