Abstract
General demands are described that should be satisfied by a field-site. Typical allocation is shown of the antennas, grounding, receivers, calibration and data acquisition system at a site. The block diagram is given of a standard SR receiver and its characteristics are briefly discussed. The classical design, the equivalent circuit, and gain are given of the vertical electric antenna. We discuss the impact of the metallic carrying construction on the antenna effective height, and the role of antenna mechanical vibration is demonstrated. Effective characteristics are addressed of magnetic induction coil antennas as well. The electric and magnetic antennal collocations are demonstrated at SR observatories. Practical parameters of antennas are listed and examples are given of a typical SR receiver including the notch filter. The material is illustrated by photo views of real field sites and equipment.
