Abstract

The design and implementation of Advanced Embedded Electromagnetic Radiation Monitoring System (AEERMS) for the monitoring of the non-ionizing Electromagnetic radiation is presented in this paper. AEERMS monitors the exposure of electromagnetic radiations continuously that are radiated from different RF sources. As per the pressing need, there is a tremendous increase in the usage of cellular mobile communications and broadcasting systems, which in turn increases the number of cell towers. All the cell towers together, transmit several tens to hundreds of watts of power, and the continuous exposure to this Electromagnetic (EM) radiation results in severe health problems like Brain Tumor, Blood Brain Barrier, Eye& Hearing etc. A systematic and continuous monitoring of the EM radiation is necessary to regulate the radiation level. The proposed system called AEERMS has the provision for continuous monitoring and display of radiation levels in the mobile network based on their frequency range and stores and/or transfers the data to concerned authorities. The proposed AEERMS was successfully implemented in measuring the radiated power of the received signals with frequency ranges from 80 MHz to 2.5 GHz. In addition to this, system is also capable of scanning all possible frequencies in its vicinity and thus measures the total radiated power for all the signal frequencies. The performance of the AEERMS is validated with BSNL drive test. Tirupati at GSM frequency of 1800.6 MHz and at 3G frequency of 2156 MHz. The AEERMS is set in use under different traffic conditions, viz., normal and busy traffic conditions, at various distances from the cellular base station. It is observed from the measured radiations that, the radiation level in busy hours is larger than that in normal hours, irrespective of the distance from the cellular base station. The radiation levels are indicated by the particular frequency and radiation in terms of power levels. If the radiation level is above -30 dBm, then the monitoring system indicates it as a dangerous level of radiation, and it sends short messages to the concerned authorities indicating about the dangerous level of radiation of particular frequency in a particular place. The radiation levels are taken from BioInitiative (report) 2007 and 2012.
