RADIATION DETECTION APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18054267 titled 'RADIATION DETECTION APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a radiation detection apparatus that includes a housing, a sensor panel, a conductive plate, and an antenna element.

  • The housing has an incidence surface and a back surface, with the sensor panel and conductive plate housed inside.
  • The sensor panel converts radiation into an electrical signal.
  • The conductive plate is located between the sensor panel and the back surface, functioning as a ground for the antenna element.
  • The antenna element is also housed in the housing and includes a portion that extends in a direction intersecting with the normal to the incidence surface.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Radiation detection and monitoring in various industries, such as nuclear power plants, medical facilities, and research laboratories.
  • Security systems for detecting radioactive materials in airports, seaports, and other high-security areas.
  • Environmental monitoring for detecting radiation levels in the surrounding areas.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Provides a compact and efficient radiation detection apparatus.
  • Allows for improved detection and measurement of radiation levels.
  • Reduces the risk of false readings and improves accuracy.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Compact design allows for easy integration into existing systems or devices.
  • Improved sensitivity and accuracy in detecting radiation.
  • Enhanced safety measures by providing real-time monitoring of radiation levels.


Original Abstract Submitted

A radiation detection apparatus includes a housing that includes an incidence surface and a back surface located on the opposite side of the incidence surface, a sensor panel that is housed in the housing and configured to convert radiation incident from the incidence surface into an electrical signal, a conductive plate that is housed in the housing and extends in a direction intersecting with a normal to the incidence surface, and an antenna element housed in the housing. The conductive plate is located between the sensor panel and the back surface. The antenna element is located between the conductive plate and the back surface. The antenna element includes a portion that extends in the direction intersecting with the normal to the incidence surface. The conductive plate is configured to function as a ground for the antenna element.
