Phonemeter: Bringing EMF Detection to Smartphones

Abstract

In this demo, we propose Phone meter which leverages the RF energy harvesting technologies to measure the strength of Electromagnetic Field (EMF). To this end, Phone meter combines EMF sensor with the smartphone through audio interface without any modifications to the phone. We fully implement the low-cost Phone meter and conduct extensive experiments to prove the functionality of Phone meter. Phone meter achieves about 13:7% relative error in average compared with the industrial-grade spectrum analyzer with significantly reduced the costs.
