RF Safety Overview - EMF Measurement and Monitoring Tools - 2

The Smart Choice for RF Safety Since its inception in 1986, Microwave Vision Group (MVG) has developed a unique expertise in the visualization of electromagnetic waves. The Group's mission is to extend this unique technology to all sectors where it will bring strong added value. Year after year, the Group develops a complete range of Radio Frequency (RF) instruments to measure the level of exposure to electromagnetic fields and to address the following needs: • o continuously record the electromagnetic field level T and alert the user to potential overexposure • o monitor actual levels and...

RF Safety Overview - EMF Measurement and Monitoring Tools - 3

W hy do we measure exposure levels? Electromagnetic fields are increasingly present in our living environment. For this reason they arouse ever more concern and raise questions about the possible harmful effects of these fields on health. As part of its public heath charter and in response to growing concerns, the World Health Organization (WHO) introduced the International Electromagnetic Fields Project in 1996. This Project aims to assess the health and environmental effects caused by static or variable electric and magnetic fields in frequencies from 0 to 300 GHz. Wherever there is...

REGULATION LINKED TO THE EXPOSURE LEVELS MEASUREMENT PROTOCOLS AND STANDARDS In Europe, the exposure limits follow the European Union Council Recommendation 1999/519/CE of July 12th 1999 regarding the public exposure to electromagnetic fields. The exposure limit values are revised periodically if needed. The last report from the Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified Health Risks (SCENIHR), an independent European Commission body, on the health effects of electromagnetic fields, came out in January 2009. The conclusions of this report do not challenge the exposure limit...

Finally, the measurements can be used to confirm and/or calibrate a propagation model. An appropriate combination of simulation and measurement allows us to obtain a precise mapping of exposure in a large geographic area, and to monitor changes to this exposure over time, in quasi-real time mode. of three elementary antennae (dipole or monopole) appropriately placed with respect to each other. HOW TO MEASURE EXPOSURE TO ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS Sensitivity: The sensitivity of an electromagnetic field measurement probe or system is the minimum level of the field that can be measured with this...

About Microwave Vision Group (MVG) Since its inception in 1986, The Microwave Vision Group (MVG) has developed a unique expertise in the visualization of electromagnetic waves. These waves are at the heart of our daily lives: smartphones, computers, tablets, cars, trains, planes. None of these devices or vehicles would work without them. Year after year, the Group develops and markets systems that allow for the visualization of these waves, while evaluating the characteristics of antennas, and helping speed up the development of products using microwave frequencies. The Group's mission is...
