Performance measurements of four wireless systems (GSM900, GSM1800, UMTS and WLAN) simultaneously transported over an indoor wireless network fed by a low-cost 850-nm vertical-cavity surfaceemitting laser (VCSEL) – 300m length of multimode fibre is presented. The measurement focuses on the error vector magnitude (EVM) performance of the GSM900, GSM1800, and UMTS in co-existence with each other ...

In situ electromagnetic (EM) radio frequency (RF) exposure to base stations of emerging wireless technologies is assessed at 311 locations, 68 indoor and 243 outdoor, spread over 35 areas in three European countries (Belgium, The Netherlands, and Sweden) by performing narrowband spectrum analyzer measurements. The locations are selected to characterize six different environmental categories (ru...

Disturbances in hospital devices caused by cellular telephone signals were investigated. The interference sources were GSM900, GSM1800, and TETRA380 phones. The number of medical appliances tested was 23. Most measurements were taken in a semi-anechoic laboratory. To simulate the worst situation, the phones were adjusted to emit at their maximum power levels. No interference was observed if the...

This paper presents a wideband/multiband internal antenna operated in the LTE13/ GSM850/GSM900/WiMAX bands. The wide bandwidth is obtained by dual resonances in the lower frequency band. With the size of 2.4 cm 3 , the efficiency of the proposed antenna is higher than 40 % in the entire operating band.

Evaluating the power densities emitted by GSM1800 and GSM900 BTS antennas isconducted via two methods. Measurements are carried out in half a square meter grids around twoantennas. CST Microwave STUDIO software is employed to estimate the power densities in order fordetailed antenna and tower modeling and simulation of power density. Finally, measurements obtainedfrom computational and experime...

This document provides an overview on the key measurements required for testing GSM transceivers. GSM mobile performance derivation is also discussed. This overview is intended to help a RF designer with no GSM RF system knowledge to get up to speed with the GSM system. Various systems are compared (GSM900, DCS1800, PCS1900, CT2, and DECT). Key design issues such as phase error and frequency er...

Human exposure to background radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) has been increasing with the introduction of new technologies. There is a definite need for the quantification of RF-EMF exposure but a robust exposure assessment is not yet possible, mainly due to the lack of a fast and efficient measurement procedure. In this article, a new procedure is proposed for accurately mapping...
