Time Variability Analysis of RF-EMF Data from Continuous Monitoring Systems

Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) become an inevita-ble element of the human environment, particularly over the last decades when artificial EMF sources have been broadly used in wireless telecommunication technologies. The classical measurements of EMF levels are oriented to the spot and short-term me-asurements while providing only elementary information. How-ever, the appearance of systems for continuous EMF monitoring, such as the Serbian EMF RATEL network, brings an over-view of the field's strength over long periods and, consequently, many opportunities for wide-range analyses of EMF data, par-ticularly those focusing on the field's time variability. In this pa-per, the results of a comparative evaluation of two recently pro-posed methodologies for EMF analyses are presented, considering a case study of data acquired by a sensor of the EMF RATEL system, in the campus area of the University of Novi Sad, as an example of the increased sensitivity area to the EMF exposure.
