Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 15:
16. A method of making electrical measurements using a radiation sensor, the method comprising:
providing an input signal at one or more ports coupled to an electrical signal path of the radiation sensor, wherein the radiation sensor comprises a resonance structure connected to the electrical signal path, the resonance structure comprising a resonator, a graphene junction connected in series with the resonator and including a graphene layer, and a heating element that converts an incident photon into heating of the graphene layer, wherein the graphene junction is connected between the resonator and ground;
receiving an output signal at the one or more ports coupled to the electrical signal path;
comparing the output signal to the input signal to detect a shift in a resonant frequency of the resonator; and
detecting the incident photon based on the shift in the resonant frequency of the resonator.
