Software speeds emissions measurements

EMF measurement software enables engineers and technicians to quickly and easily validate compliance with legally defined emission limits

RFEX-Fast EMF measurement software from Rohde and Schwarz enables engineers and technicians to quickly and easily validate compliance with legally defined emission limits. Network operators, test houses, service providers, and regulatory authorities can all benefit from its efficiency and ease of use.
The portable one-box measurement system together with the R and S FSL spectrum analyser and the R and S TS-EMF isotropic antenna is especially suitable for performing measurements outdoors or in highly inaccessible locations.

The compact RFEX-Fast software solution is designed for measurements on equipment such as basestations and broadcast transmitters; plus, it is also ideal for fixed-site transmission systems or WLAN infrastructures.

The software performs the measurements in a matter of seconds and displays the individual radio services.

Engineers and technicians can see at a glance whether minimum and maximum limits, such as those defined by ICNIRP (International Commission on nonIonising Radiation Protection), have been violated.

A simple maximum search of the electromagnetic field strength can also be performed.

The software is easy to configure because the radio services are solely defined by their frequency range.

This permits the system to adapt quickly to the measurement task.

The results can be interpreted immediately as the sum value of the field strength is output directly.

The software supports several Rohde and Schwarz spectrum analysers, thus extending manual measurement capabilities beyond EMF.

When used with the appropriate spectrum analysers, the EMF measurement software can also handle measurements of new radio services above 3GHz such as WiMAX and WLAN 802.11a/h signals.

Moreover, the tried-and-tested R and S RFEX software enables further analysis of the data obtained.
