Patent ID: 7317319

Claim:
A method of measuring the electric field intensity and the magnetic field intensity of an electromagnetic field, comprising: locating a conductor in the electromagnetic field so that the conductor simultaneously outputs plural currents, simultaneously measuring the plural output currents in different directions relative to the electromagnetic field, in response to the measuring step, determining the magnitude of each output current and the phase difference between the output currents; calculating, on the basis of the determined magnitudes of the plural currents and the phase difference, an electric field component current generated in the conductor by an electric field included in each output current and a magnetic field component current generated in the conductor by a magnetic field included in each output current, and calculating, on the basis of the magnitudes of the calculated electric field component current and the magnetic field component current, the electric field intensity and the magnetic field intensity of the electromagnetic field, said conductor including a measuring conductor and a reference conductor, the locating step including arranging the measuring conductor in a measuring position and the reference conductor in a position for detecting a reference signal, and said measuring step including simultaneously measuring (a) from the measuring conductor a plurality of cutout currents that are outputted in different directions relative to the electromagnetic field and (b) a reference signal outputted from said reference conductor; and determining the magnitude of each output current and the phase difference of each output current.
