Monitoring EMF at 5G Cell Base Towers with the Wavecontrol SMP3
As the continued expansion of the 5G cell phone and internet network continues to grow, so does the demand for accurate EMF monitoring assessments of broadband EMF in the vicinity of cell base towers.
To monitor these fields adequately in Australia, ARPANSA released a new standard for limiting exposure to radiofrequency fields, 100kHz to 300GHz.
To learn more about ARPANSA compliance with the IEC-62232 Standard, visit the EME Check Methodology in this article by ACMA.
The Wavecontrol SMP3 is a comprehensive solution designed to meet the broadband measurement standards according to the IEC-62232 standards, which is the determination of RF field strength and specific energy absorption rate in the vicinity of radiocommunication base stations for the purpose of evaluating human exposure.
Designed as a three-in-one solution, the SMP3 provides users with static field measurements, spectrum analysis and broadband field measurements. This unit can provide FFT-based time spectrum analysis up to 10MHz and broadband measurements from 0Hz to 90GHz.
The Wavecontrol SMP3 takes measurements in compliance with the IEC-62232 standard, giving users peace of mind that they are provided with the most up-to-date safety alarm settings. Users can also use the SMP3's safety alarms, allowing customised alarm parameters at shorter intervals if needed. For users travelling internationally, the SMP3 has the most up-to-date internationally recognised EMF safety standards, allowing users to select any standards set by IEC, EN, IEEE, ITU and ICNIRP.
The SMP3 remains a highly accurate, powerful and intuitive tool for any field engineer or technician tool kit tasked with assessing EMF near 5G cell base towers.
