Short summary
We present the high-frequency properties of the eight electric field sensors as proposed to be launched on the spacecraft “RESONANCE” in the near future. Due to the close proximity of the conducting spacecraft body, the sensors (antennas) have complex receiving features and need to be well understood for an optimal mission and spacecraft design. In particular techniques like wave polarization analysis and incident direction finding depend crucially on the presented antenna characteristics.
