Abstract
An optical low drive voltage modulator electric field sensor device includes an electric field antenna. A low drive voltage modulator has an electrical voltage input electrically coupled to the electric field antenna, a light input, and a modulated light output. The optical low drive voltage modulator electric field sensor is configured to provide an optical output signal at the modulated light output having an optical parameter responsive to an electric field at the electric field antenna. The optical low drive voltage modulator electric field sensor device can also be configured to provide an RF output signal at a location physically remote from said antenna, where the RF output signal is responsive to an electromagnetic wave received at a remote antenna.
