• With active wireless doorbell transmitter 1” away and pointing towards RF meter on concrete floor, the meter reads ~0.15mW/cm2

• A simple mechanical fixture and regulated 9V supply for the transmitter will make an adequate incoming RF meter test.

• This and all subsequent readings taken with the RF meter in “RF” mode and the scale used is 0.01 – 1.0 (the bottom most scale on the meter).

Repeatable Reading

Readings around active microwave oven vary, typically nearby readings peg the meter (>> 1 mW/cm2)

RF Around A Microwave Oven

Backing away from oven roughly 3’, meter reads ~0.2 mW/cm2, though second-by second reading fluctuates with cooking process.

RF Around A Microwave Oven

Smart meters’ signals vary widely in time, basically pulsing during communications. Typical values are 0.1 mW/cm2 - 1 mW/cm2

with the RF meter ~ 3” from the smart meter.

RF Around A Smart Meter

Cell Phones’ signals vary widely in time, basically pulsing during communications just like smart meters. Typical values are 0.1 mW/cm2 – 0.2 mW/cm2 pulses for an iPhone.
