Abstract
A radiation detector includes a block of a material capable of interacting with ionizing radiation to produce charge carriers, an inductor positioned adjacent to the block and having an inductance that depends on a number of the charge carriers in the block, and a sensing circuit coupled to sense a change in the inductance and detect the ionizing radiation base on the change. The sensing circuit may particularly contain an RF synthesizer that drives the inductance, e.g., an LC circuit containing the inductance, and an analyzer that detects changes in the response of the inductance.
