Abstract
As an example, an apparatus may include: an ionization chamber, a voltage source to drive the ionization chamber; a voltage sensor to measure an ionization chamber output voltage; a calibration circuit to compensate the ionization chamber output voltage based on a correction factor; and a monitoring circuit to trigger an alarm if the compensated output voltage meets a predetermined condition. The calibration circuit may determine the correction factor to compensate for any leakage current affecting the ionization chamber output voltage.
