Measuring EMR

My current measuring equipment is a handheld Spectrum Analyser from Aaronia, the "Spectran HF-6080".

Measuring mobile phone base station radiation

There are various methods for measuring radiation from mobile phone base stations:

Broadband measurement, with Power Meters: With this method, a sensor is used which records the overall radiation in a broad frequency range. Alongside mobile phone base stations, other systems such as radio and TV transmitters also contribute towards these readings, but it is not possible to distinguish between the individual sources.

Frequency selective measurement, with Spectrum Analysers: This method is used if, on the basis of a broadband measurement, it is not possible to judge with sufficient certainty whether a mobile phone base station complies with the installation limit value. Here it is only the radiation from the installation concerned that is measured. Selective frequency measurements are more demanding and time-consuming than broadband measurements, and require more complex measuring equipment.

Code selective measurement: This method is used for measuring UTMS radiation if the other two methods fail to yield conclusive results. Here, only the temporally constant proportion from the UMTS signal is recorded, and subsequently projected. In this way it is possible to clearly allocate the recorded signals to a specific transmitter.
