ETS-Lindgren’S 5502 Horizontal/ Vertical (H/V) Electric Field Generator is a two conductor transmission line system that generates a Transverse Electromagnetic wave (TEM). The Model 5502 is also known as an E/H field generator for its ability to excite a vertical electric or magnetic field over the conductive ground of the chamber.

The Model 5502 has two modes of operation, a switch located in the balun/feed box to change between modes. The E-Mode (or vertical electric field generation) occurs when the two elements are driven against the ground of the chamber. A vertical electric field is generated between the two elements and the ground. The H-Mode (or horizontal electric field generation) occurs when the elements are isolated from ground by means of an isolating transformer. One element is then driven against the other element. A horizontal electric field and a vertical magnetic field is created between the two elements simultaneously.
