Resistive High-Voltage Probe with Frequency Compensation by Planar Compensation Electrode Integrated in Printed Circuit Board Design
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
- In Figures 8 and A1, it is not easy to identify compensating electrode. Please update these figures.
- Please align those four signals in figure 13 and clearly state the benefit of the developed sensor over commercially available ones.
- Combine figures 6 and 10 and discuss the differences between simulation and measurement results

Reviewer 2 Report
The proposed work was intended to investigate “Resistive High-Voltage Probe with Frequency Compensation by Printed Circuit Board Design”. However, major revision is required considering the following points mentioned below:
1. Revision of abstract is suggested to include proper introduction to problem. e.g.; what is the effect of high non-linear transfer function. (Line 11-12)
2. In introduction, introduce the precise measurement and its related application. (Line 29-30)
3. Introduce and use appropriate acronyms where required. (Line 32 kilovolt (kV), 34, 40, 99, 112 and 115)
4. The authors do not provide at the end of the introduction section the description of the paper structure which is very useful for readers.
5. Provide proper citation for line 33, 43, 56, 66, 103, 172 and 243.
6. In line 392-396, explain the reason for overlooking the small value of parasitic capacitance, given the concern of precise measurement.
7. In line 417-420, please discuss the solution approach for determination of effective parallel capacitance interfering issue of low-pass and high-pass behavior in transfer functions.
8. Please use a simple diagram to illustrate the whole idea of this paper and the modification it has been made from previous work.
9. Corrections of some grammatical errors and typos are needed.
10. Future recommendations should be added in the conclusion.

Reviewer 3 Report
An interesting topic with acceptable research efforts. The article is well written with complete details in developing the prototype. Analysis of the 'electronics' parts are well described, but seems lack of evidences for the HV parts as claimed in the paper. There are some room for improvement to be considered on the following concerns :
1- "by PCB Design" in the title can be replaced with other 'strong & attractive' words.
2- Author claim the probe to be used for HV, but there is no evidence of HV measurement been presented.
3- Author shall compared result of HV measurement by using conventional HV probe vs. the proposed HV probe to proof the said performance.
4- Author shall include a real photo of the developed prototype, instead of simulated image. Figure 8 shall come with appropriate labelling for easy understanding.
5- Section 2 are too long to digest. Author shall split into several appropriate sub-section to reflect the content and good chronology. Can apply the same for other sections if necessary.
6- Minor language/ grammatical errors eg. L14/ L218 etc
7- Try to adopt 'passive sentence' instead of 'active sentence' throught the articles eg. L14/ L577
