Detecting electromagnetic energy for alarm or log using mobile phone devices

摘要

A mobile phone is configured to employ existing antennae or other exiting input electronics to receive electromagnetic waves, for detection of energy magnitudes. The mobile phone has wireless receiver electronics to receive, through the antennae, communication signals in a plurality of different communication bands that correspond to the plurality of different frequency ranges. Energy levels of electromagnetic waves received through the plurality of antennae are detected. A record is made of energy levels in the plurality of different frequency ranges. An alarm is provided upon a detected energy level crossing a predefined threshold value.

1. A mobile communication device comprising:
a plurality of antennae on the mobile communication device configured to receive signals in a corresponding plurality of different frequency ranges, wherein each antenna on the mobile communication device is configured to receive signals in a frequency range that is different from the frequency range that each other antenna of the plurality of antennae is configured to receive; wireless receiver electronics configured to receive wireless communication signals through the plurality of antennae, in a plurality of different communication frequency bands that correspond to the plurality of different frequency ranges; electromagnetic wave energy level detection electronics configured to detect energy levels of electromagnetic waves received through the plurality of antennae in the plurality of different frequency ranges, each of the antennae being coupled to the electromagnetic wave energy level detection electronics and to the wireless receiver electronics; and processor electronics configured to provide at least one of: (a) a record of electromagnetic wave energy levels detected by the electromagnetic wave energy level detection electronics in the plurality of different frequency ranges, or (b) an alarm upon the electromagnetic wave energy levels detected by the electromagnetic wave energy level detection electronics in one or more of the plurality of different frequency ranges crossing a predefined threshold value.
