This Techlab range of equipment has been developed to demonstrate the properties of electromagnetic waves and as an aid to teaching the behaviour of visible light. The value of using microwave radiation for this purpose is two fold. Firstly, the concept that visible light is a small section of a much wider band of frequencies may be introduced. Secondly microwave radiation share so many common properties with visible light that many experiments can be undertaken, which would otherwise be impossible due to limitations on time or equipment costs.
The Techlab microwave battery operated detector probe allows the student to measure, plot and investigates the microwave field intensity. The probe is slightly less sensitive than the normal receiver, and is largely non-directional. The unit benefits from a built in amplifier with variable gain and meter displaying the relative signal strength. Output can be taken via the BNC connector either to an oscilloscope or meter.
