Mobile communications
Mobile communications generate radiation. METAS defines the measurement methods used to measure this radiation and supports the accredited measurement laboratories by calibrating their measuring instruments.
Mobile radio radiation in everyday life
With the rapid development of mobile communications, including through technologies such as 5G, the presence of electromagnetic fields in everyday life has increased sharply. This radiation must not endanger human health or the environment or interfere with the functioning of technical systems.
Our services in the field of mobile communications
Definition of measurement methods
METAS defines the measurement methods to be able to reliably measure radiation in accordance with the requirements of the Ordinance on the Protection against Non-Ionising Radiation (NIRO, SR814.710).
Calibrations
We calibrate radiation measuring equipment and measuring equipment for determining electromagnetic fields:
- Antennas
- Field probes
- Test receivers
Measurement comparisons
METAS carries out measurement comparisons and studies in order to implement the developed measurement methods.
