Zusammenfassung:A sensor for picking up partial discharges in an electrical equipment tank filled with a dielectric fluid includes an antenna responsive to the electromagnetic waves generated by such partial discharges. In the sensor, the antenna is formed by two electrodes that are separated from each other by a dielectric resonator. With this arrangement, the sensor has improved sensitivity in the UHF range, while being of dimensions that are considerably smaller than dimensions of a conventional antenna for use in the UHF range.
