Determining of the electric field strength using high frequency broadband measurements

Abstract

Exposure of humans to electromagnetic fields of high frequency (above 100 kHz), i.e. radiofrequency radiation from the modern wireless systems, today inevitable is. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the importance of broadband measurements of the electric field of high frequency in order to fast and reliable assessment of human exposure. A practical method of ‘in situ’ measurement the electric field intensity which is related to the frequency range of 3 MHz to 18 GHz, is provided.
