tions). Most of all it is the enormous speed with which the cellular
phone network expands every day that causes changes in the
exposure levels.
Minimum distance 2 meters
Due to the physics of wave generation it is not possible to reliably
measure the customary "power density" (W/m²) in the close vicini-
ty of the source of radiation. For the instruments described here,
the distance should be in excess of 2 meters.
The nature of HF radiation requires a specific approach for each
the determination of the total exposure to it and
the identification of the sources or leaks for the pollution.
Step-by-Step Procedure to Measure the
Total Exposure
When testing for HF exposure levels in an apartment, home or
property, it is always recommended to record individual meas-
urements on a data sheet. Later this will allow you to get a better
idea of the complete situation.
Preliminary Notes Concerning the Antenna
As the LogPer Antenna provided with this instrument is shielded
against ground influences, one should "aim" some degrees below
the emitting source subject to measurement so as to avoid distor-
tions in the area of sensitivity transition (aim horizontally for mod-
erately elevated targets such as transponder masts).
The analyser suppresses frequencies below 800 MHz to avoid the
readings being disturbed by lower frequency sources. In order to
measure frequencies below 800 MHz down to 27 MHz the instru-
ments HFE35C and HFE59B are available from Gigahertz Solu-
tions. They come with an active horizontally isotropic ultra-broad
band antenna from 27 MHz up to beyond 3 GHz, the UBB27.
Settings of the Analyser
The HF32D comes with ‚Range' and ‚Signal' already set to values
typical for the assessment of the impact of the HF radiation by
building biology standards. Higher power densities beyond the
designed range are indicated by a "1" on the left end of the dis-
play. In this case, the attenuator DG20 (available as accessory)
can be applied and will allow measurements of 100 times higher
fields.
The HF35C feature additional settings as described below:
At first, set "Range" to "1999 μW/m²". Only if there are constantly
very small readings, switch to the finer range (HF35 only).
The basic rule is: as coarse as necessary, as fine as possible.
