1 Introduction
This meter is designed for measuring and monitoring Radio–
Frequency electromagnetic field strength. The meter is
calibrated precisely over the frequency range of 50Mz~ .5
GHZ.

3 Fundamentals
Electromagnetic pollution:
EN-1

This meter is used to indicate electromagnetic pollution
generated artificially. Wherever there is a voltage or a current,
electric (E) and magnetic (H) fields arise. All types of radio
broadcasting and TV transmitters produce electromagnetic
fields, and they also arise in industry, business and the home,
where they affect us even if our sense organs perceive nothing.
3.1 Electric field strength (E):
A field vector quantity that represents the force (F) on an
infinitesimal unit positive test charge (q) at a point divided by
that charge. Electric field strength is expressed in units of volts
per meter (mV/m). This meter measures electric field strength
directly.
3.2 Magnetic field strength (H):
A field vector that is equal to the magnetic flux density divided
by the permeability of the medium. Magnetic field strength is
EN-2

expressed in units of amperes per meter (A/m). In far field
situations, one can calculate the magnetic field for the electric
field value. This meter can display the calculated magnetic field
strength.
3.3 Power density (S):
Power per unit area normal to the direction of propagation,
usually expressed in units of watts per square meter (W/m2) or,
for convenience, units such as mill watts per square centimeter
(mW/cm2).
3.4 The characteristic of electromagnetic fields:
Electromagnetic fields propagate as waves and travel at the
speed of light (C). The wavelength is proportional to the
frequency.
EN-

λ (wavelength) = C (speed of light) / f (frequency)
If the distance to the field source is less than three wavelengths,
then we are usually in the near field. If the distance is more than
three wavelengths, the far-field conditions usually hold.
In near field conditions, the magnetic field value cannot be
calculated from the electric field value. This meter is designed
for reliable far field measurements only.
