For continuous waves the sensitivity is | nW/cm* using a differential sensor with two transistors, and for pulsed waves the sensitivity is | pW/cm' using a single transistor.
Plain English Summary
A simple way to obtain a low-cost high sensitivity detector is to use an active device, especially a transistor oscillator, coupled to an antenna. The detector operates in a frequency-selective mode at low power densities and can switch to a non-selective mode at higher densities by adjusting the antenna coupling.
Exposure Details
- Power Density
- 1 mW/cm2
Exposure Context
This study used 1 mW/cm2 for radio frequency:
- 100Mx above the Building Biology guideline of 0.1 μW/m²
- 1.7Mx above the BioInitiative Report recommendation of 0.0006 μW/cm²
Building Biology guidelines are practitioner-based limits from real-world assessments. BioInitiative Report recommendations are based on peer-reviewed science. Check Your Exposure to compare your own measurements.
