Electromagnetic Field Detector

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the need for an electromagnetic field detector capable of measuring wave intensity on a grid and interfacing with a computer. Key considerations include the frequency range of detection, sensitivity requirements, and whether bolometric detection suffices. Participants emphasize the importance of specifying these parameters to identify suitable products or design specifications. The mention of bolometric detection highlights a relevant concept for users seeking to understand detection methods.

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.
