Antenna impedance has been measured on board the EXOS-D (Akebono) satellite by imposing a constant current at VLF. The impedance is obtained in a complex form, i.e., as a resistance and a capacitance. This is essential to obtain the absolute electric field intensities of the VLF waves. A critical frequency below which the resistive part becomes important is also obtained.
