In general, a microwave leak detector is an electronic device used on microwave ovens to check for leaks around the door seal. The device "looks for" microwave energy that might be getting past the seals. There are a number of different types ranging from "cheapie" meters to "survey units" that cost hundreds of dollars and should be calibrated yearly.
Leakage of possibly harmful microwave radiation from an operating microwave oven due to damaged door seals etc.
A portable handheld radio receiver operating in the microwave band, that when it detects microwave RF above a certain strength it gives some form of warning signal. This warning may be audible, visual, or be shown on the face of a meter.
It checks that no microwaves have escaped from the oven. Microwaves are harmful to living flesh. Not only will it cook you, as it does in the oven, but even small doses can cause eye cataracts. The door seal has a mesh, that will trap the microwave radiation. The mechanical size of the mesh is designed to interfere with the radio wave length. The door seals can get damaged with use and as radio waves are invisible, no one would know there is a problem. By moving a microwave leak detector around the door seal and cabinet, you can check to see that the oven is safe. The device can also be used for radar systems, that use wave guides up to the scanner, to check joints.
The only way to check for microwave leaks is to check it with an radiofrequency radiation (RFR) probe, which are very expensive and require technical training to operate. Unless the microwave, and especially the door, have noticeable damage you can be very confident that exposure is very negligible and that no adverse health effects will come of it. As an added precaution, it is smart to stay several feet away from the microwave while it is cooking, since radiation levels drop sharply with increased distance. You can buy a leakage detector for $40. Please note that these detectors are not certified by any government regulatory agency and therefore the manufacturer can make any claims they want - similar to the claims seen on "supplements" sold at the drug store.
most modern electronic leak detectors these days can detect up to 0.05oz/y which equals to roughly 1.5grams/year Check for brands such as Inficon, Fieldpiece, Yellowjacket, Bacharach, CPS. Most of their leak detectors sensitivity vary from 0.1oz/y to 0.05oz/y
That would be any radar detector. If you want to detect a radar that is not being used, you need to find a psychic.

A microwave leak detector actually detects microwave electromagnetic energy. There are a number of different types, and it might be best to touch on them before finishing up. One way to divide microwave leak detectors is by the "quality" of the insturment. There are a number of "cheapie" units that will give an indication of leakage, and then there are the really expensive survey meters that cost hundreds of dollars and should be calibrated at least annually. Both respond to microwave energy, and you can see where this is going. If you suspect a leak in an oven, it is best to call and ask about a "professional" checkup. It's cheaper to take a machine in than to have someone come by, but for builtin units, you don't have much choice. Make a call and ask a few questions to see what can be done and for how much.
