sferics receiver [′sfir·iks ri‚sē·vər]
(electronics)
An instrument which measures, electronically, the direction of arrival, intensity, and rate of occurrence of atmospherics; in its simplest form, the instrument consists of two orthogonally crossed antennas, whose output signals are connected to an oscillograph so that one loop measures the north-south component while the other measures the east-west component; the signals are combined vertically to give the azimuth. Also known as lightning recorder.
