Radiation standards and measurement techniques for personal-portable communications equipment

Radiation characteristics of personal-portable communications devices tend to vary more widely than perhaps any other operating parameter, and yet in many cases, this characteristic is the determining factor in the range and effectiveness of these devices. Recognizing this basic specification requirement, the electronic Industries Association´s new proposed standard for personal-portable communications equipment includes an open-field measurements section. This section is devoted exclusively to radiation measurements for both receivers and transmitters.
