How best to measure microwaves frequencies?

roxalis@rocketmail.com
I have bought a Cell Sensor meter which as far as I can tell is detecting EMF fields in the 60hz range. It detects nothing when I put it right next to my own wi-fi emitter, so I'm guessing I'd have to buy something different to detect microwaves? I can use my computer's on wifi ability to detectothers, but it's kind of awkward carrying it around the apartment, turningit upside down and the like to see how the signal bars vary. Plus I have no way of knowing about cell towers. I'd also ask is it even worthwhile to spend a lot of money on RF type meters? I've already discovered and madegood changes based on the Cellsensor meter.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Alexa

Hi there,

I think it's extremely useful to invest, if possible, in a good RF meter, especially if you think your current meter isn't doing the full job (not familiar with that model, though). A good one will tell you what sort of signal strength is around, and some have amplitude demodulation (thank you Bill Bruno for giving me that term), which is an audio analysis indicative of strength, and also useful for discerning the type of signal.

I use ones made by Gigahertz Solutions - pricey, not the highest end, but quite good.  Biggest practical downfall is the cumbersome external antenna, and the need for multiple meters if covering all the common frequencies.

Powerwatch UK's store, EMFields - http://www.emfields.org/equipment/overview.asp - has a new Acoustimeter that looks excellent and covers a range wider than two of my Gigahertz Solutions meters.  Plus, the antenna is internal so it's less delicate and more discreet.  If ever I can get one,I will, but not today! Looks like people have been buying them up.

Good luck!

R.

Thanks R. - the meters on that page look incredible and go way beyond what my little $30 meter can do...but they are incredibly pricy. I have a feeling I'll be buying one eventually though :)

No worries.  It's definitely an investment I'm happy with - and the audio is a wonderful tool to demonstrate to people what they're bombarding themselves with every time they use the latest wireless toy.

BiBrun
The MW1 they sell is also very useful, and much cheaper.
LessEMF sells it too.
