A portable, custom-built RF signal scanner and power detector designed for knowing wireless signals, measuring signal strength and can be used to be safe. Built around the ESP32-C3 microcontroller and the AD8318 logarithmic RF power detector, this device provides real-time visual readings alongside multi-sensory (visual, audible, and tactile) feedback.

Core Processor: ESP32-C3-WROOM-02 handling Wi-Fi/Bluetooth scanning, logic, and native USB programming. RF Detection Engine: AD8318 RF Power Detector module paired with an SMA antenna connector for precise wideband signal measurement. Display…

Rf detector: common questions

What microcontroller does the Rf detector use?

The Rf detector is built around the ESP32-C3-WROOM-02, from the ESP32 family.

How big is the Rf detector PCB?

The Rf detector measures 71 × 150.5 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Rf detector?

57 components, from 34 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Rf detector design files?

From the joshitha-c/rf_detector repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Rf detector design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with joshitha-c. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Rf detector without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug ESP32 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
