Abstract
A compact electric field probe sensor incorporating two different electro-optic materials of $LiNbO_3$ and GaAs was proposed and fabricated, and it was used to measure the strength of the horizontal and vertical fields generated by a microstrip ring-resonator filter. The sensitivities of the sensors in $LiNbO_3$ and GaAs were $9.315{\mu}V/\sqrt{Hz}$ and ${\sim}49.346{\mu}V/\sqrt{Hz}$ respectively, and their signal to noise ratios were approximately ${\sim}50\;dB$ and ${\sim}40\;dB$ respectively. And the operating frequency range was up to ${\sim}1.2\;GHz$. The electric field profile for the test circuit was scanned and found to be in good agreement with that obtained by using the HFSS simulation.
