Where to find Microwave Radiation?

[littlejeter36]

I am a high school student and i am doing a science fair project about radiation. i have a microwave detector and i would like to know where i can find microwave length radiation so i can test and record results. I have tested microwaves and cell phones but i can't think of anything else. What else could i test?

Maybe wireless routers, wi-fi antennas on laptops.

There are several frequencies in the microwave band that are unlicensed for short range use. Thus, many (most?) short range communication devices use microwaves. Besides what's been mentioned so far I can think of: Cordless phones, bluetooth, some remote control stuff. If you haven't checked already the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave" on microwaves has a lot of uses listed.
