  • Abstract
    A survey of exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic fields has been carried out in the area around TV broadcast antennas. The RF electromagnetic fields out of the measurement points were calculated by the developed software, which has 3D screening unit, based on fuzzy logic. It takes quite a long time to measure and calculate RF electromagnetic levels in wide areas. The method enables researchers to get the RF electromagnetic field distributions inside and outside of the measurement points with less measurement data, time and error rate. Electric field and magnetic field components of RF radiation value at any point can be compared with national/international standards and limits easily by using the software developed.
