RADIO FREQUENCY HAZARD MONITORING - USAKA

AEROMET PROPOSES TO DEVELOP A SENSOR SYSTEM FOR THE PURPOSE OF MONITORING RF FIELD STRENGTH ENERGY. PHASE I WILL CONCENTRATE ON THE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF A UNIQUE PROGRAMMABLE SENSOR THAT CAN SENSE THE ENERGY IN VARIOUS FREQUENCY BANDS. THE SENSOR WILL ACT AS A STAND ALONE UNIT AND BE POWERED BY SOLAR CHARGED BATTERIES. THE SENSOR WILL BE DESIGNED SO THAT MANY OF THEM CAN BE OPERATED IN CONJUNCTION WITH A COMMON "CONTROL CENTER" WHICH WILL BE USED TO COLLECT, DISPLAY AND ARCHIEVE THE DATA. COMMUNICATION BETWEEN SENSOR UNITS AND THE CONTROL CENTER COULD USE TELEPHONE LINES OR A VHF RADIO LINK.
