1. A system for protecting an electronic device from electromagnetic radiation, comprising:
- means for receiving electromagnetic radiation impinging on said electronic device;
means for determining a value equal to a field strength of said electromagnetic radiation;
means for determining a value equal to an amplitude modulation of said electromagnetic radiation;
means for combining the value of the field strength and the value of the amplitude modulation to generate a combined signal;
means for generating a start signal when the value of said combined signal is greater than a predetermined value; and
means for testing said electronic device in response to said start signal to determine if said electromagnetic radiation has interfered with the operation of said electronic device.
