Abstract

Lightning is the transfer of significant charge between two charged object, it can occur between cloud to cloud, cloud to air and cloud to ground. Lightning strikes can kill people, knock out radio communication, electrical power devices, and destroy houses, trees as well as animals. The lightning strike hazards may be properly managed by using a lightning detector system. The detection concepts can be based on Electromagnetic Field or Electric field. In this paper, the characteristics of the flat plate antenna in measuring the electric field has been reviewed and analysed. The experiment using parallel plate antenna has been setup to detect the E field during the thunderstorm days. The E- field data has been collected and used for data manipulation or others application.
