Abstract

Extensive references about electromagnetic field strength measurements of mobile phone base stations may be found in specialized literature. But those underground emissions, to serve passengers of public transportation, are almost unknown. This paper deals with EMC measurements along a Metro System, showing statistically based results, and comparing them to actual local standards of maximum allowed power density levels. Discussion of further analysis is also proposed. Conclusions take into account reliability, measuring methods and the way reports should be addressed to society
