Calibration services offered to the public include calibration of radiofrequency hazard meters, gauss meters, and personal RF hazard meters.
The Radiofrequency (RF) Electromagnetic Radiation Calibration Service maintains diverse laboratory facilities for measurements relating to hazard analysis and calibration of radiofrequency radiation measuring instruments. Specific calibration services offered to the public include calibration of radiofrequency hazard meters, gauss meters, and personal RF hazard meters.
Calibrations may include any of the following test methods:
- TEM cell
- anechoic chamber
- wave-guide calibration apparatus, or
- for ELF frequencies, a Helmholtz coil.
ARPANSA is a NATA accredited laboratory (ISO/IEC 17025) for calibration of:
- E-field meters, including hazard meters and warning indicators, at 1mW/cm² and frequencies up to 8 GHz or levels up to 10mW/cm² and frequencies up to 2.45 GHz; and
- Equivalent free space H-field with least uncertainties of measurement of ±1 dB from 100 kHz to 200 MHz, ±0.61 dB at 750 and 900 MHz, ±1.2 dB at 1.8 GHz, ±1.0 dB at 2.45, 4, 6 and 8 GHz.
