This support is provided either during development (layout review or preliminary investigations) or after a “fail” result from a regulatory test. Test reports or test results help to find “troublemakers”. Special near-field probes combined with augmented reality can very precisely pinpoint where faults need to be countered at circuit board level. Additional pre-compliance measurements show whether the measures introduced are having the desired effect.
Pre-compliance measurements always make sense when a device needs to be improved in terms of its EMC or wireless performance. waveLAB Ruhr GmbH can offer both domains radiated and has a wireless test system (WTS-80) for radio integration tests (radiated power (TRP) and sensitivity (TIS), out-of-band emissions (RSE)) and a GTEM 1500 (interference emission (EME) and interference immunity (EMS).
These on-site measurement campaigns are mostly network coverage measurements. They should show, for example, whether an antenna inclination (tilt) with a distinctive power factor leads to the desired coverage. Practical measurements (with a portable spectrum analyzer) are usually necessary when there are attenuating elements such as building materials between the transmitter and receiver and simulations are only of very limited value.
waveLAB Ruhr GmbH can simulate various EMF scenarios. The basic idea of a simulation is the free space wave propagation of radio waves, such as those generated by mobile base stations (also 5G) or radar systems. This allows local exposure situations to be presented and a potential percental limit value for exposure caused by electromagnetic fields to be determined.
This service is about protecting people who are occupationally exposed from electromagnetic fields. The now most common regulation here is the EMFV, regulation for the protection of employees from hazards from electromagnetic fields. Other, for example in-house regulations, can be tested and evaluated just like older measurement regulations between 1 Hz and 6 GHz.
Exposure assessments can be carried out either simulatively or by means of on-site measurements. Essentially, mobile radio systems are tested, but also BOS, TETRA or (broadcast) radio units. In addition to measurement and extrapolation (maximum system utilization), this also includes panel discussion events for the public. waveLAB Ruhr often acts as an intermediary between the general public and the network operators.
waveLAB Ruhr GmbH can access a wide range of training topics in the field of radio-frequency technology and regulatory approval. Examples: EMF, basics and measurements, approval according to the requirements of the RED (2014/53/EU) for products with a radio interface, cellular standard 5G, protocol theory, antennas and radiation, antennas in theory and practice, design guide and measurement practice, EMC-compliant circuit board layout, Basics of EMC and EMC testing, basics of radio and radio testing, SRD devices, “worldwide” approval for IoT devices.
Radio network planning can be either simulative or practical. Customers willing to set up a 5G campus network, for example, need support with regard to radio coverage during operation or advice on the general operation of such systems. waveLAB Ruhr supports this with measurement technology and simulation.
Measurements of Total Radiated Power (TRP) and Total Isotropic Sensitivity (TIS) in WTS-80: With the Wireless Test System 80 (WTS-80), waveLAB Ruhr GmbH has the option of measuring the radiated power and also sensitivity. The focus is on cellular technologies, but also other radio systems are covered. With the data obtained, the customer can classify his radio product in terms of radio performance.
Preparation of expert reports for towns and communities: Markus Ridder has been working as an EMF exposure expert for exposure situations caused by electromagnetic fields for several years. As part of this function, expert opinions or reports can be created for cities and communities that consider dedicated exposure situations. These can be areas that are particularly especially worthy of protection, such as kindergartens, schools or homes for the elderly, but can also affect the general expansion of transmission antennas.
Advice on the approval of products (radio, EMC and antennas): Within waveLAB Ruhr GmbH there is a wide range of experience with the market approval of products with and without a radio interface. Initially, the focus is on approval for Europe, but other approval regimes can also be covered. The advantage of the holistic approach is the saving of costs and time in the approval process. waveLAB Ruhr GmbH has a wide network of partners who also can support the topic.
