Abstract:
A site or vehicle which includes a plurality of electromagnetic radiators monitors the radiation by the use of a plurality of broadband sensors spaced about the potential radiation site or vehicle. Each of the sensors produces signals indicative of the sensed power, and process the signals for transmission over a data network. The system also includes a processing system which receives the signals indicative of the sensed power from all of the sensors, and processes the signals to determine whether radiation levels are within the established values. The signals may be processed either at the sensors or at the processing system to form average or peak power determinations. The power levels are continuously compared with threshold levels. When the threshold is exceeded, warnings may be given, or automatic shutdown of the radiator may be instituted ( ).
