Radiation Measurements

Evaluating measurement uncertainty of a physical quantity is a mandatory requirement for laboratories within the recognition ISO/IEC 17025 certification to access reliability of measured results. In this work, the uncertainty of ionizing radiation measurements such as air-kerma, personal dose equivalent Hp(d) was evaluated based on GUM method and Monte Carlo method. An uncertainty propagation software has been developed for evaluation of the measurement uncertainty more convenient.

Radiation Measurements

 The intensity of electromagnetic radiation around selected mobile phones is in a bid to confirm their adherence to the specified radiofrequency exposure limit on non-ionizing radiation. Measurements were taken with the use of Radiofrequency Meter (RF) TM-96, 9V DC and Spectrum Analyzer (NA-773, 144/430 MHz) at distances 5 cm, 10 cm, 15 cm, 20 cm, 25 cm and 30 cm from the mobile phone users. The level of radiations from the selected mobile phones ranges from 0.3119 to 0.5407 mW/cm2 during dialing. Out of the tested mobile phones, the radiation levels of Asus, Infinix 3 and Siccoo X100 phones which are 0.5407, 0.5009 and 0.4506 mW/cm2 respectively are above the International Commission on Non-ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) reference level which is 0.45 mW/cm2. Result from measurement showed that high radiation levels from a transmitting handset occur between seeking for connection and call establishment. It was also confirmed that the physical condition of mobile phones affects its radiation level.
