Is their a decently affordable type of tool for measuring or capturing em radiation in the WiFi frequency range? I suppose I could glean a lot from running a logger on an ESP32 and walking around, but I have to imagine EE folks and scientists have better tools for the job.


Something like this:

... along with a high dB external attenuator because it is designed for low power. According to the docs a 60dB external allows for 1 milliWatt to 2 Watt measureable input. I think the default power for 2.4ghz Wifi is 100mW.


Very cool, that’s exactly what I’m after. I’m getting into IoT development and need good information as I work on various applications. Thanks!
