Wavecontrol introduces RFSelectiQ: the newest solution for Frequency and Code Selective EMF Exposure Assessments

Wavecontrol has incorporated RFSelectiQRFSelectiQ into its portfolio of solutions for evaluating electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure. The system offers advanced capabilities for both frequency‑selective and code‑selective analysis, supporting detailed characterization of EMF signals and field levels in a wide range of scenarios.

RFSelectiQ: Frequency Selective Analysis

RFSelectiQ performs measurements based on spectrum analysis to assess field levels across user-defined frequency bands. It allows multiple bands to be selected and measured simultaneously, simplifying the identification of contributions from different services or emitters in complex RF environments.

Our solution is an all-in-one analyzer that combines frequency-selective and code-selective measurement methods in a single, easy-to-use device.

EMF Measurement Methods

Wavecontrol offers different solutions for all three primary methods used in EMF exposure assessment:

• Broadband measurement

The broadband measurement method provides a quick overview of the electromagnetic environment by capturing total contributions from all EMF sources across a wide frequency range. This helps identify high‑exposure areas and supports initial assessments and certification tasks.

This solution includes broadband functionality for general EMF verification. For high‑accuracy broadband measurements, Wavecontrol offers the SMP3 as the dedicated instrument.

• Frequency selective measurement

Based on spectrum analysis, the field level is assessed in specific frequency bands selected by the user. Multiple bands can be defined and measured simultaneously. Includes frequency selective mode and scanner mode.

• Code selective measurement

This is the newest method to extrapolate the maximum exposure. Using signal de-modulation and decoding, assess EMF levels from specific parts of the signals (SSB and traffic beams). Preferred method to extrapolate to the maximum exposure as per standards.

Compliant Solution

RFSelectiQ is composed of two separate elements:

• The Viavi OneAdvisor, which serves as the analysis platform and performs frequency selective and code selective measurements.
• The Wavecontrol WTA8G5 triaxial isotropic antenna, designed to provide full band frequency coverage from 30 MHz to 8 GHz with no need to change antennas during measurements.

Together, these components provide a compliant, comprehensive, and modern all-in-one solution capable of performing advanced EMF exposure measurements in accordance with international standards such as IEC, ITU, IEEE, ARPANSA, and many other standards.

If you would like further details on how RFSelectiQ operates or guidance on its use in different measurement scenarios, you are welcome to contact one of our experts. Our team will be glad to provide additional technical information or answer any questions regarding this solution.
