Claims35
An apparatus for detecting and measuring electromagnetic radiation from a radiation source, the apparatus comprising:
- means for receiving electromagnetic radiation from the radiation source;
- means for determining a distance from the apparatus to the radiation source;
- means for determining a value of one or more characteristics of the electromagnetic radiation;
- and
- means for generating a value equal to the power of the radiation source based on the one or more characteristics of the electromagnetic radiation and the distance from the apparatus to the radiation source.
An apparatus for detecting, locating and measuring electromagnetic radiation from a radiation source, the apparatus comprising:
- a pointer for determining a location of the radiation source;
- an antenna having a predetermined gain and a directional sensitivity along an axis, the directional sensitivity of the antenna being adjustable to be directed towards the radiation source to receive radiation from the radiation source but not interfering radiation sources;
- and
- a detector for generating a value equal to a characteristic of the electromagnetic radiation.
A method for detecting and measuring the power of an electromagnetic radiation from a radiation source, comprising:
- receiving electromagnetic radiation from the radiation source;
- determining a distance from the apparatus to the radiation source;
- determining a value of one or more characteristics of the electromagnetic radiation;
- and
- generating a value equal to the power of the radiation source based on the one or more characteristics of the electromagnetic radiation and the distance from the apparatus to the radiation source.
An apparatus for detecting and measuring electromagnetic radiation from a radiation source, the apparatus comprising:
- an antenna that receives electromagnetic radiation from a radiation source;
- a range finder that determines the distance between the apparatus and the radiation source;
- detectors that determine a value of one or more characteristics of the electromagnetic radiation based on the received electromagnetic radiation;
- and
- a processor that generates a value equal to the power of the radiation source based on the one or more characteristics of the electromagnetic radiation and the distance from the apparatus to the radiation source.
