Using our improved Optical Electric Field Sensor (OEFS) that incorporates our Log‐Periodic Dipole Antenna Array (LPDA‐type), it is now possible to accurately measure Electromagnetic Field Interference (Hidaka et al., IEICE Trans Commun (2014) 253–262). However, accurately evaluating the sensitivity characteristics of the LPDA‐type OEFS via a standard electromagnetic field simulator resulted in an excellent but less than perfect outcome (Hidaka et al., IEICE Trans Commun (2014) 253–262). In this article, we show that a more accurate and reliable method of assessing the sensitivity characteristics of the OEFS via our software can be achieved using a detailed simulation model that prevents large errors. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
