Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/209500
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method, system and/or apparatus for remotely monitoring the operation of a radiation sensor may include a radiation sensor configured to detect a presence of radiation in the area, the radiation sensor including a Geiger-Muller tube, a test signal generator configured to generate a high frequency test signal used to test the radiation sensor, the high frequency test signal transmitted to the radiation sensor, and a test signal detector configured to detect a response of the radiation sensor to the test signal, and determine whether the radiation sensor is operating correctly.
