Major changes in exposure levels can, for instance, al- ready be caused by a transponder only being tilted down by a few degrees (e.g. during installation or repair works on cellular phone transmitters). In particular, however, the worldwide extremely rapid © Gigahertz Solutions GmbH...
  • Page 8 The supplied logarithmic-periodic antenna (or aerial), has excep- tional directionality. Thus it becomes possible to reliably locate or “target” specific emission sources in order to determine their con- tribution to the total HF radiation level – a fundamental prerequisite for effective shielding. © Gigahertz Solutions GmbH...
  • Page 9 In order to avoid measurement values to be falsified by radiation sources from frequencies below 800 MHz when measuring with the LogPer antenna, the HF58B and the HF58B-r are equipped with an internal high pass filter at 800 MHz. As the HF59B picks up frequencies below 800 MHz, it has no inte- grated high pass filter.

  • Page 14 After having measured the emission of the 2.4-GHz tele- phone on its own, the sum of both measurement values could be used for the exposure assessment. (This is necessary only when using the LogPer aerial. The isotropic UBB27 does this in a single measurement). © Gigahertz Solutions GmbH...
  • Page 15 As the standard please set the instrument to “Peak hold” and “VBW standard ” (default in the HF58B). The displays of the meters of this series show the sum of the total power density within the frequency range of the most common dig- ital radio services.
  • Page 16 LogPer aerial. HF58B only: The HF58B does not have the required VBW to perform a quantita- tive measurement of radar signals. However the audio analysis identifies even those radar pulses that cannot be measured quantitatively.
  • Page 17 For the HF58B it is helpful to use the “-” (“minus”) setting for Peak hold to catch the short bursts. The HF58B-r and HF59B have a patented circuitry that allows for the exact measurement of the extra fast rise times of the bursts even in the “+”-setting for Peak hold.
