NONIONIZING RADIATION MEASUREMENT CAPABILITIES
STATE AND FEDERAL AGENCIES
The capabilities of the various State organizations and Federal
agencies to measure nonionizing electromagnetic radiation have been
determined. This document is intended to aid agencies of the Federal
Government in locating possible sources of measurement assistance.
The capability descriptions which are presented in this report were
developed under the auspices of the Side Effects Working Group,
Technical Subcommittee, Interdepartment Radio Advisory Commission, and
are based upon information provided by State organizations and Federal
agencies to requests for descriptions of capabilities which could be
made available. The capabilities of interest are grouped into three
categories: (1) gross hazard survey; (2) spectrum scanning in which
field intensity and/or power density is measured as a function of
frequency; and (3) generalized environmental background measurement.
These capability categories have the following general characteristics:
1. A gross hazard survey capability is the capability to measure
power density using a portable, battery powered instrument equipped
with an isotropic probe. The probe should have a very broadband
frequency response allowing a measurement of total power density
integrated over a wide range of frequencies with a threshold
sensitivity of at least 200 x 10~6 w/cm2. The instrument should
be responsive to both continuous wave (CW) and pulsed radiofrequency
(RF) and microwave fields and provide an accurate measurement of
total power density including the contribution of the average
power density of pulsed fields.
2. A spectrum scanning capability allows a wide range of frequencies
to be scanned to identify signals, and measure field strengths
and/or power densities of the detected signals. Self-scanning or
manually scanned spectrum analyzers or field intensity meters,
having the capability of at least both narrow and wide bandwidth
frequency resolution, together with calibrated antenna systems,
are used to obtain field measurements. The antenna systems should
be capable of being oriented to maximize antenna sensitivity to
the electromagnetic radiation field, or preferably be sensitive
to all of the orthogonal components of the field.
3. The performance of generalized environmental background
monitoring requires a sensitive frequency scanning system with
narrow bandwidth capability and isotropic broadband antenna
systems to determine power density and/or field intensity as a
function of frequency. Contributions to environmental levels
from CW and pulsed sources should be capable of being measured.
Information regarding time variation of radiation levels should
be obtainable, with the capability to determine pulsed source
-------
characteristics (i.e., peak intensity, pulse width, repetition
rate), a desired but not required feature. A computer based
data acquisition and data reduction system, interfaced with the
sensor and measurement systems, should be capable of providing
adequate data storage for real-time data reduction and visual
display. However- data acquisition need not include a real-time
data reduction, as long as the means exist to adequately analyze
the data and evaluate the results within a reasonable time
interval after the measurements are made.
The State and Federal organizations included in this report appear
to have capabilities which satisfy or closely approach the requirements
described. The availability of instrumentation systems has been
indicated where possible. A capability which does not meet all of the
criteria described for the three capability categories defined is
included for the purpose of indicating resources which could be used to
yield some useful information until instrumentation more appropriate
to a particular situation can be obtained.
U.S. Government establishments having a need for the capabilities
described in this document should contact the cognizant organization.
Whether such capabilities are made available is the prerogative of the
agency contacted. Furthermore, any environmental nonionizing electro-
magnetic radiation situation which involves a request for assistance
should be brought to the attention of the Office of Radiation Programs,
Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., which is responsible
for keeping this information current. The following persons may be

This report summarizes only certain classes of the nonionizing
measurement capabilities which exist and may be available in State and
Federal agencies; it intentionally excludes similar and extensive
resources which may be found both in universities and private industry.
