Abstract—The main objective of the present study is to
introduce a virtual instrumentation system for automated
characterization of the electromagnetic fields generated by
GSM systems. The system consists of calibrated antennas,
remotely controlled spectrum analyzer with USB connectivity
and dedicated LabVIEW software for data transfer, processing,
analysis and monitoring. Primarily intended to determine the
RF fields from GSM base stations, it can also be used for
investigating the RF exposure from other communication
technologies.
Index Terms—Automated measurements, GSM systems,
LabVIEW graphical programming, RF electromagnetic fields.
