Low-cost glow discharge tube microwave frequency sensor
Abstract
Advantages of glow discharge detectors include electronic ruggedness, wide dynamic range, simplicity of use, and the possibility of an employment in the presence of highly intense gamma radiation fields. In principle, it is possible to determine RF carrier frequency by determining the current of peak responsivity in a given lamp at a given operating point. Certain problems might make it necessary to use different glow lamps in different spectral bands.
