Environmental radio frequency radiation measurement techniques: A review

RF Radiation measurement and analysis have been carried out at different locations across the globe to determine the levels and the impact of RF emissions in the environment. In this paper, various RF Radiation measurement and analysis techniques are discussed. Particular emphasis is on the measurement technique, sources of the RF Radiation and method of data analysis. Results of the various studies indicate the use sophisticated equipment for both measurement and analysis and some statistical models for future prediction of RF exposure levels. Future research areas have been suggested in the studies reviewed. This include detailed assessments of combined effect of RF radiation from different sources in the environment.
