Meters and Probes Evaluate EM Fields

VISTA, Calif. - Aug. 7, 2024 - PRLog -- Transcat | Axiom Rental Equipment, an electronic test equipment rental company has published a new blog post that features the Wavecontrol SMP3 Portable EM Field Meter. Learn about the different features and capabilities that this unit offers when detecting and measuring electromagnetic fields.

Depending upon the field probe attached, the SMP3 can make frequency-selective or broadband measurements of electric (E) field, magnetic (H) field and EM fields as high as 90 GHz in frequency.

The SMP3 EM field meter is a multifunction unit, capable of broadband EM field measurements, static field measurements, and even low-frequency Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) spectrum analysis from 1 Hz to 10 MHz. Its wide frequency range, teamed with a suitable field probe, provides the measurement capability required for evaluating many emerging applications at millimeter-wave frequencies, including the second frequency range (FR2) of Fifth Generation (5G) wireless cellular networks. When many in-field measurements are required, the EM field meter has enough built-in memory to record more than 1 million samples or registers and features a USB-C port for connection to a personal computer (PC) for analyzing captured test results.

Choosing a field meter can take time. Despite the small size, the SMP3 is highly automated, with built-in test functions to make measurements according to the weighted peak method (WPM) when comparing against industry limits (reference levels) or for workplace safety testing to comply with such low-frequency EM exposure standards as ICNIRP 2010, Directive 2013/35/EU, and IEEE C95-1.
