PC Software Simplifies Evaluation of Electromagnetic Field Measurements

Narda Safety Test Solutions (Germany) offers a remote control, analysis and management software package for the frequency-selective field measuring set SRM-3006. Called SRM-3006 TS, the PC software simplifies the acquisition and storage of the results of electromagnetic field measurements, enables subsequent analysis and the automatic generation of user-specific test reports.

Large quantities of data often result from electromagnetic radiation measurements designed to protect people or the environment. Data acquired by the Selective Radiation Meter SRM-3006 from Narda Safety Test Solutions can now be managed, analysed and recorded using the PC software SRM 3006 TS.

Database functions facilitate storage by measurement location and measurement project. A separate data field contains extra information about the measurement location and conditions, such as GPS data, cartographic representations or voice comments recorded on-site.

All results can be subsequently analysed. For example, the software can automatically search for peak values in frequency spectra or determine average values over time periods. Integration over a selectable frequency range enables automatic determination of the field exposure due to an entire radio communication service, such as GSM-1800 downlink, or due to an individual service provider. Similarly, later analysis enables identification of pilot channels, as well as the use of individual extrapolation factors to determine the maximum field exposure when a transmitter is operating at full load.

The PC software SRM-3006 TS can import data from earlier SRM-3006 software and print out all results directly or export them to Office applications using custom style sheets. This enables the simple production of user-specific test reports. The main users of the software will be the operators of radio and mobile communications transmitters, authorities, and companies providing measurement services.
