Abstract

A handheld energy detection diagnostic device for detecting and measuring high frequency energy comprising a pick-up or antenna mechanism coupled to electronics circuitry to receive and evaluate RF energy characteristics being emitted from an RF transmission source. Based upon the level of received energy and the level of expected energy, the device presents a ratio to a technician indicating a degree of performance currently being experienced at a particular device. Diagnostic data is also obtained to indicate to a technician the field geometry of the system being tested. The device is small enough to be handheld and included with a technician's standard set of tools.
