Evaluation and Testing of off-the-shelf Hall Sensors for Compliant Magnetic Field Measurement

Magnetic field measurements with a more than 6 decade dynamic range over a very extended frequency range are considered. This subject is getting nowadays more importance for compliance with the series of standards and regulations for human exposure to electromagnetic fields. ICNIRP and video display terminal standards requirements in terms of field levels and bandwidth are translated into sensor specifications, which reveal to be very challenging. Furthermore, manufacturers´ information is sometimes poor and doesn´t allow easily engineers to design a fully compliant measuring equipment
