GSM, UMTS ve LTE Baz İstasyonu Sinyallerinin Oluşturduğu Maruziyetin Frekans Seçici Ölçümleri ve Analizi

Year 2019, Volume: 9 Issue: 1, 25 - 35, 30.06.2019

Abstract

Günümüzde, elektromanyetik alanların sebep olduğu maruziyetin
seviyesini ölçmek için yaygın olarak
frekans seçici ölçüm yöntemi
kullanılmaktadır. Ancak bu ölçümler uzmanlık gerektiren ve uygulamada farklı
sonuçlar verebilen hassas ölçümlerdir. Bu nedenle,
farklı GSM (Global System for Mobile
Communication)
, UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications
System) ve
LTE (Long Term Evolution) baz istasyonu
antenlerinden gelen sinyallerin RF maruziyetinin hassas bir şekilde ve frekans
seçici olarak ölçülmesi ve değerlendirilmesi gerekmektedir.
Bu
amaçla, frekans seçici ölçüm yöntemi kullanılarak Almanya/Regensburg’da bulunan
elektromanyetik kirlilik ölçümleri konusunda uzman, referans bir laboratuvar
ile TÜBİTAK Ulusal Metroloji Enstitüsü (UME), Elektromanyetik Laboratuvarı arasında
karşılaştırma ölçümleri gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışma kapsamında
ölçümler, Almanya/Bayreuth'da 4 farklı bölgede bulunan baz istasyonlarında, her
bölgede 2 ölçüm noktası seçilerek eş zamanlı olarak gerçekleştirilmiş ve
değerlendirilmiştir. Dört farklı konumda bulunan, 8 farklı ölçüm noktasındaki
bağıl farkın 0 dB ile 1.4 dB arasında olduğu belirlenmiştir. Elde edilen
karşılaştırma sonucu verileri incelendiğinde her iki ölçüm ekibi tarafından
oluşturulan ölçüm sonuçlarının iyi bir uyum içinde olduğu görülmüştür.

Frequency Selective Measurements and Analysis of Exposure to GSM / UMTS / LTE Base Station Signals

Year 2019, Volume: 9 Issue: 1, 25 - 35, 30.06.2019

Abstract

Nowadays, the frequency selective measurement method
is commonly used to measure the level of exposure caused by electromagnetic
fields. However, these measurements are sensitive measurements that require
expertise and can give different results in practice. For this reason, the RF
exposure of the signals from different GSM
(Global System for Mobile
Communication)
, UMTS (Universal
Mobile Telecommunications System)
and LTE (Long Term Evolution) base station antennas
needs to be measured sensitively as frequency selective and evaluated
accurately.
For this purpose, the comparison
measurements were performed between the Electromagnetic Laboratory of TUBITAK
National Metrology Institute (UME) and the reference laboratory, which are
experts in electromagnetic pollution measurements situated in
Germany/Regensburg
by using frequency selective measurement method. Within the scope of study, the measurements were performed and evaluated simultaneously at 4 different locations of base
stations in Bayreuth, Germany by selecting 2 measurement points in at each
location. The relative difference in 8 different measuring points at the 4
different locations was determined to be between 0 dB and 1.4 dB. When the
comparison result data were investigated, it was seen that the measurement
results generated by both measurement teams were in good agreement.
