1.2 SRM-3006 as a field strength meter
The SRM-3006 is a device for measuring electromagnetic fields in the
frequency range 9 kHz to 6 GHz. The main measurement task here is the
determination of the field strength.
Several operating modes can be selected. Each operating mode is
designed to deliver in-situ immediate, informative results that do not require
any further processing or evaluation.
In the simplest case, the complete measuring equipment for determining the
field strength consists of the Basic Unit with an antenna mounted directly on
it.
Depending on the selected measurement method, it may be useful or even
necessary not to mount the antenna directly on the Basic Unit but to place it
some distance away and use a cable to connect it.
A 1.5 m long cable is included in all SRM-3006 field strength measuring
system sets including antenna that are offered by Narda Safety Test
Solutions. A 5 m long cable is available for special applications (see
Ordering Information on page 213 ).
The antenna needs to be exactly positioned and undisturbed for precision
measurements. An optionally available tripod with a suitable antenna holder
can be added to the measuring equipment for this purpose.
Regardless of the package described, cables and antennas not made by
Narda can also be connected to the Basic Unit in order to perform the
desired measurements (see
Using commercially-available cables and
antennas on page 33 ).
