Your problem statement is too vague to be useful. I don't mean so much useful to us, as useful to you.
You really need to be a great deal more specific about what you want to sense. The term "electromagnetic radiation" covers a range from signals with wavelengths many orders of magnitude larger than your handheld, to ones with wavelengths many orders of magnitude smaller. And intensities vary from ones capable of vaporizing your handheld, to ones where you'd need a special isolation chamber and a good supply of liquid helium to be able to detect. And then finally -- with this be modulated, pure, mixed? Are you interested in determining the spectrum, the total energy flux, direction? Do you seek to resolve multiple signals? Hopefully, you'll just need one of the simpler combinations of the above factors, and can focus your efforts on that. Many smartphones come with a light detector, or a camera, which can be used for a certain range of electromagnetic radiation. If you're looking for powerline-frequency energy, or a similar range, consider a small tuned resonant coil, hooked to an A-D pin on an Arduino controller with a wifi or bluetooth interface. Microwave frequencies will require a whole other set of techniques and skills -- resonant chambers, etc. Infrared, UV -- the camera might work - try it and see. Narrow it down and your situation gets a whole lot simpler. On Jul 24, 11:14 am, Jaan <jahnavi.athul...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi , > > i am a student who is very new to Android platform.
