ABSTRACT:
A current detector and metering circuit is provided for a dielectrokinesis detecting device. This device is particularly useful in the areas of locating obscured entities, such as human beings, animals, materials, or controlled substances. A current detector is attached to an antenna and detects when subtle changes in the dielectrokinesis occurs within an detection environment. The present current detector automatically zeros itself to ambient electric field values and then has a heightened sensitivity for changes in that electrical field caused by changes in the dielectrokinesis. The present invention can be used for detection of hidden entities or substance, for motion detection, for medical diagnostic detection, and other uses.
