Design of the Miniaturized Receiving Antenna Applied in the Detection of Corona Discharge Signals

Abstract:

Corona discharge is a kind of self maintained discharges that occurs in the extremely uneven electric field which often happens in the industrial and daily living environments. In this paper, we study the characteristics of corona discharge, especially the ones in the time domain and frequency domain of negative corona discharge. Based on the analyzed characteristics mentioned above, we design and optimize a kind of patch antennas, which has the advantages of small volume compared to the traditional one used to receive the signals generated by corona discharge. This new antenna can be used in the field of security inspection on high voltage transmission lines applied in the industrial applications.
