Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 8:
9. A method of operating a radiation sensor, the method comprising:
receiving an incident photon at a heating element of a resonance structure of the radiation sensor;
heating a graphene layer of a graphene junction of the resonance structure in response to receiving the incident photon;
changing an impedance of the graphene junction in response to heating the graphene layer;
shifting a resonant frequency of a resonator of the resonance structure in response to changing the impedance of the graphene junction, wherein the graphene junction is connected between the resonator and ground; and
receiving electrical signals at one or more ports coupled to an electrical signal path of the radiation sensor, wherein the resonance structure is connected to the electrical signal path.
