This paper presents a disk-type small reference probe operating up to 1 GHz as an electric field transfer sensor. The probe is calibrated using a μ-TEM cell and demonstrates a wide useable electric field strength range. Design and calibration methods are presented. The probe is suitable for testing and comparing the performances of reference field generation systems, both TEM cells and antennas. As an application, a technique for measuring the antenna gain is proposed and applied to open-ended waveguide antennas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
