A portable broadband monitoring system for electromagnetic radiation assessment

A portable broadband monitoring system, (PBMS), for measuring the electric field of broadcasting networks and mobile communication systems is presented. The system has been implemented for recording the field either on an instantaneous or on a 24- hour basis. Low cost and high reliability render the PBMS appropriate for the deployment of electromagnetic radiation systematic measurement campaigns necessary for epidemiological studies and an inexpensive alternative for the concerned public. The appropriate tests, the characteristics and the uncertainty calculations of the measurements have shown that the system can be successfully compared with the commercially available ones.
