Claim Text:
1. A grounded mast current clamp probe apparatus comprising: a current probe; said current probe including a magnetic core formed with an aperture and a conductive structure positioned in said aperture; at least one housing that substantially encloses said current probe, wherein said housing forms an electrostatic shield that prevents passage of electricity therethrough; a plurality of grounding elements connected to an outer surface of said housing and radiating outwardly from an outer circumference of said housing; wherein each of said grounding elements radiates at a frequency angle θ ranging from about 40 degrees to about 45 degrees; and, wherein said frequency angle θ is an angle formed between a longitudinal axis of said housing and a longitudinal axis of said grounding elements, wherein a bandwidth and a resonant frequency of said current probe is dependent on said frequency angle θ.
