Electromagnetic Field Detector

AI Thread Summary
An electromagnetic field detector is sought for measuring wave intensity on a grid and relaying results to a computer, with a preference for high resolution. Specifics such as frequency range and sensitivity requirements are crucial for determining the appropriate device. Bolometric detection may be sufficient, but clarity on whether frequency measurement is necessary is needed. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding the intended application and specifications for effective design or purchase. Further research on bolometric detection is encouraged for better insights.

I am looking for an electromagnetic field detector that can detect use to detect the intensity of wave on a grid and return the results to a computer.
the higher the resolution the better.
does anyone know where this can be purchased?
how could one be designed?

You just described a digital camera...

You need be more specific: What is the frequency range? Is bolometric detection enough or do you need to know the frequency of the radiation? What kind of sensitivity do you need.
 
I would need it to work with wavelengths outside of the visible spectrum.
I don't need it to tell me the wavelength, but I just need to know the intensity.
I will read about bolometric thank you for the keyword.
 
Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
