RF survey meters are used to measure the electromagnetic field (EMF) strength to analyze the integrity of a signal and establish if the sites around RF radiation emitters are safe. Carrying out RF surveys is essential for businesses surrounding telecommunications, broadcasting, and radar systems. Antennas produce high levels of RF that need to be tested to ensure people are not being exposed and that it is not interfering with neighboring sources.
Two types of survey meters are broadband and selective. Broadband RF field meters are used with both isotropic E-field and H-field probes that are then categorized into flat probes and shaped probes. Shaped probes are designed to comply with industry standards provided by FCC, IEEE, ICNIRP, and Canada SC-6, and other similar standards. These tests provide users with the percentage of the standard achieved for the environment under test. Flat probes are to be used within a particular frequency range. Selective radiation meters use E-field and H-field antennas with single-axis or three-axis measurements for both low and high-frequency testing. Three-axis antennas are the most convenient due to their automatic delivery of isotropic results.
Avalon Test Equipment carries a variety of RF survey meters for rent or purchase so you can Test With Confidence®.
The Narda Fieldman is a smart solution for EMF measurements, capable of handling frequencies up to 90 GHz. It features a wide measurement range from 0 Hz (DC) to 90 GHz. The device uses a digital probe interface, meaning only the probe needs calibration, not the measuring device itself. Its anti-glare, brilliant colour display with automatic brightness adjustment ensures readability even in poor lighting conditions or intense sunlight. Additionally, the Fieldman includes sensors that measure temperature, air humidity, pressure, and height above ground. It also supports rapid data transmission through various interfaces, making it highly efficient for data handling.
