The Cavendish geophysical test site in southern Ontario, a highly conducting massive sulfide zone, has been studied using a variety of different geophysical prospecting methods. We present the results of an audio‐frequency magnetotelluric (AMT) survey which indicate adequate lateral resolution of the conductors. The two main conductive zones are most clearly detected when the electric field sensor is oriented normal to the zones, a feature that is characteristic of narrow buried bodies. When the electric field sensors were parallel to a conductor, the detection of narrow buried zones was limited. There is a clear indication of a broad low‐resistivity zone at depth between the two narrow, highly conducting zones. This interpretation is in general agreement with other survey results in this area.

The traceability of underwater electric field sensors is to track the most essential reason for underwater electric field generated by the sensor.When exploring marine electromagnetic field by underwater electric field sensors ,the underwater electric field sensor calibration traceability of the underwater electric field directly affects the final research significance .Therefore,the underwater electric field sensor calibration traceability technique is very important.The underwater electric field sensor calibration traceability is still in its infancy in our country recently .In this paper,underwater electric field sensor calibration traceability based on Ohm's law and magnetic field gradient methods are proposed through theoretical analysis and numerical simulation,which provide test methods for our underwater electric field sensor calibration and solve the bottleneck problem of underwater electric field measurements.

We studied photonic electric-field sensors using a 1 × 2 YBB-MZI modulator composed of two complementary outputs and a 3 dB directional coupler based on the electro-optic effect and titanium diffused lithium–niobate optical waveguides. The measured DC switching voltage and extinction ratio at the wavelength 1.3 μm were ~16.6 V and ~14.7 dB, respectively. The minimum detectable fields were ~1.12 V/m and ~3.3 V/m, corresponding to the ~22 dB and ~18 dB dynamic ranges of ~10 MHz and 50 MHz, respectively, for an rf power of 20 dBm. The sensor shows an almost linear response to the applied electric-field strength within the range of 0.29 V/m to 29.8 V/m.

The traditional method of using electric field sensors to realize early warning of electric power safety distance cannot measure the distance of dangerous sources. Therefore, aiming at the electric field with a frequency of 50 to 60 Hz (AC electric field), a new method for localization of aerial AC target by the capacitive one-dimensional spherical electric field sensor circular array is studied. This method can directly calculate the distance, elevation, and azimuth of the detector from the dangerous source. By combining the measurement principle of the spherical electric field sensor and the plane circular array theory, a mathematical model for the localization of aerial targets in an AC electric field is established. An error model was established using Gaussian noise and the effects of different layout parameters on the localization error were simulated. Based on mutual interference between sensors, minimum induced charge, and localization error, an optimal model for sensor layout was established, and it was solved by using genetic algorithms. The optimization results show that when the number of sensors is 4, the array radius is 20 cm, and the sensor radius is 1.5 cm, the ranging error is 8.4%. The detector was developed based on the layout parameters obtained from the optimization results, and the localization method was experimentally verified at 10 and 35 kV alarm distances. The experimental results show that when the detector is located at 10 kV alarm distance, the distance error is 0.18 m, the elevation error is 6.8°, and the azimuth error is 4.57°, and when it is located at 35 kV alarm distance, the distance error is 0.2 m, the elevation error is 4.8°, and the azimuth error is 5.14°, which meets the safety distance warning requirements of 10 and 35 kV voltage levels.
