Evaluating the Electromagnetic Pollution in the 700-1000MHz Frequency Range in Urban Areas

As cities grow and expand, more technologies are being employed to improve the quality of life, increasing altogether the electromagnetic pollution. Therefore, it is essential that telecommunications operators comply with existing regulations and be aware of the existing EM background when deploying new sites. The scope of this paper is to present some aspects to be considered in the evaluation of the electromagnetic pollution in the 700MHz-1000MHz frequency range while performing a measurement campaign in the central area of Cluj-Napoca using the Rohde & Schwarz FSH Handheld Spectrum Analyzer.
