Description
This paper exposes the measurement method presently used in Wallonia to evaluate the maximum exposure generated by active antennas. The roll-out of active antennas is well underway, so for official bodies in charge of controlling the respect of the mandatory exposure limit it was urgent to have an assessment method. After having tried different solutions, we have finally opted for a method based on spectrum measurement during forced traffic directed to the measuring equipment. The integration over frequency of the whole bandwidth used is corrected afterwards to take into account the noisy and irregular nature of the spectrum. The correction consists in adding a safety margin.
