title: Experimental procedures and statistical results for evaluation of exposure to a radiofrequency electromagnetic field with complex analogue modulation.
abstract: The paper illustrates an experimental set-up used to monitor over long periods the peak and average power associated with a complex analogue modulated signal. The procedure was applied to a standard PAL television transmission. The measurement was carried out from a remote location, and a complete tele-measuring system was designed, configured and tested. Following the application of the measuring system to some real cases, interesting statistical results illustrating long-period exposure values were reported.
