This paper describes a series of experiments designed to examine the antenna characteristics of probes which are used as detectors in ion‐acoustic wave experiments. Reception patterns are measured which are in qualitative agreement with theoretical predictions. The near‐field antenna pattern of the wave‐launching grid is found to be important.
