Device and method for broadband RF detection

Abstract

At least one exemplary embodiment of the present invention comprises a system comprising an antenna capable of receiving radiated energy within a frequency range of approximately 1 MHz to approximately 3 GHz, a broadband amplifier circuit electrically coupled to said antenna, a power source electrically connected to said broadband amplifier circuit; and an indicator electrically connected to said broadband amplifier circuit. At least one exemplary embodiment of the present invention comprises a method comprising receiving, from a radiating device, radiated energy within a frequency range of approximately 1 MHz to approximately 3 GHz at a detection device having an antenna electrically connected to a powered broadband amplifier circuit that is electrically connected to an illuminable indicator, the antenna, circuit, and indicator contained in a watertight enclosure; and illuminating the illuminable indicator if a voltage created across the antenna by the received radiated energy is above a predetermined amount.
