PDA-based system for monitoring electromagnetic signals

Abstract

The development of a mobile system for receiving, storing, and displaying electromagnetic-signals (EM) at specific frequencies using mobile devices and wireless networks, is of extreme interest, especially when the final means of display is a PDA, a very light and compact handheld device. In the present study, an application is developed for remote monitoring of EM-signals preceding seismic events. The particular advantages and challenges faced when developing such application are explained and future work in this area is presented.
