RADIATION DETECTION APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18057562 titled 'RADIATION DETECTION APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a radiation detection apparatus that includes a housing, a reflective member, and an antenna element. The housing has an incident face and a side face, and the reflective member is accommodated within the housing and has a reflective face that reflects radio waves. The antenna element is also accommodated within the housing.
- The side face of the housing has a conductor region and a transmissive region.
- The transmissive region has a higher radio wave transmittance than the conductor region.
- The reflective member is positioned in a way that strengthens the first radio wave, which goes directly from the antenna element to the transmissive region, and the second radio wave, which is reflected from the reflective face towards the transmissive region.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Radiation detection and monitoring systems
- Medical imaging devices
- Security systems for detecting concealed weapons or illicit substances
Problems solved by this technology:
- Enhances the detection and measurement of radiation by strengthening the radio waves
- Improves the accuracy and sensitivity of radiation detection systems
Benefits of this technology:
- Increased efficiency in radiation detection
- Improved signal strength and quality
- Enhanced performance and reliability of radiation detection apparatus
Original Abstract Submitted
A radiation detection apparatus includes a housing having an incident face and a side face, a reflective member accommodated within the housing, the reflective member having a reflective face which reflects radio waves, and an antenna element accommodated within the housing. The side face of the housing includes a conductor region and a transmissive region, the transmissive region having a higher radio wave transmittance than the conductor region. The reflective member is disposed in a position at which a first radio wave, which proceeds directly from the antenna element toward the transmissive region, and a second radio wave, which reaches the reflective face from the antenna element and is reflected toward the transmissive region by the reflective face, strengthen each other.
