The EMSmog System is designed for the measurement of


electromagnetic fields generated by both intentionally and nonintentionally radiating sources.
The System uses an active antenna (art. EMSFP200 or
art. EMSFP0030H) which transmits to an optical carrier the time
domain electromagnetic signal intercepted by the sensor.
The modulated optical carrier is transferred using a glass optical
fibre to a receiver (art. EMSRC200A) which converts it to an
electrical signal that is made available on a standard RF output
connector (50 ohm).
The measurement system, made up of the active antenna (art.
EMSFP200 or art. EMSFP0030H), receiver (art. EMSRC200A)
and spectrum analyser (not supplied by Clampco Sistemi), allows
for maximum operating flexibility when connected to a portable
personal computer and used jointly with the supplied motorized
support (art. EMSAT20RC) for the active antenna that controls its
vertical movement, so as to execute the spatial averages of the
field intensity as required by various regulations.
The use of the glass optical fibre for transfer of the signal from the
active antenna to the optical receiver guarantees greater
measurement repeatability given the scarce influence of the fibre
itself in the detection chain.
The spectrum analyser is connected to a PC using a GPIB interface
card or a GPIB-USB adaptor supplied with appropriate cable.

electric field active antenna

The sensor is made up of a wide-band omnidirectional biconical


active antenna, sensitive to electrical fields and powered by
rechargeable internal batteries. Using a plastic attachment
anchored to the lower panel, the sensor can be plugged into the
adapter supplied with the motorised support, with the desired
polarisation. The RF signal intercepted by the antenna is internally
conditioned and then used to modulate an optical carrier. The
modulated optical signal is led to the EMSRC200A receiver with a
glass optical fibre, connected to the sensor using an optical
connector (SC/PC) located on the lower panel of the sensor.

The sensor is fixed to a special support placed at the end of a
moveable support arm.

Si

The support is designed to allow set-up of the sensor according to


three orthogonal directions in space, so as to permit the separate
measurement of three electrical field components.
The passage from one polarisation to another requires manual
operation by the user.
The support can also be fastened using optional flanges for other
types of antennas, to perform microwave field measurements.
The motorized support is shifted using a serial connection which
joins one of the serial ports of the PC to the receiver, where a
digital optical signal is produced and carried to the motorized
support using a polymeric optical fibre.
So as not to disturb the electromagnetic field near the support
itself, the structure is made of dielectric materials, except for the
circuitry, which is in any case concentrated at the base of the
support.
For the same reason, the serial link connected to the support is
made of optical fibre up to the EMSRC200A optical receiver,
where the data exchange with the PC is reconverted to an
electronic signal.

E-SMOGUARD system
The presence of electromagnetic fields in the environment,
Electrosmog, or electromagnetic pollution, is an increasingly
problematic phenomenon. Guarantees to respect limits set by
legislators might represent an important step towards the
reduction of the problem in terms of public information.

E-SMOGUARD: AN EFFECTIVE SOLUTION


In keeping with its preventative approach, the e-smoguard system
is oriented towards the continuous monitoring and supervision of
electromagnetic field levels generated by radio and television
stations, cellular fixed and networks, and other general radio
sources. It monitors the sources themselves and any sensitive area
like schools, hospitals, etc. where it might be wished to know the
level of electromagnetic fields.
The target of the e-smoguard system is therefore to measure
electromagnetic pollution, using remote units deployed
throughout the territory, creating databases available at a central
unit, and permitting access to this information in different modes,
through a web interface.

REMOTE UNIT POSITION

The remote unit is made up of:


a wide band field sensor, selected according to the specific
program among those available
a central data acquisition, processing and transmission line,
with parameters pertaining to site identification, the
establishment of alarm thresholds, measurement
characteristics, and the transmission of definable data only
from the central unit using a password
a GSM terminal, complete with antenna for communication
purposes
a system of power supply from the local mains supply, batteries,
or solar panels, so as to render the unit totally independent of
external power sources
an installation kit.
Depending on data measurement and acquisition methods, the
central unit has a storage capacity that varies between two weeks
and sixth months. By using a local RS232 serial port, the user can
also acquire stored data, view the detected field values in real time,
configure/control the remote unit and even update the software.

THE E-SMOGUARD SYSTEM


The features of the e-smoguard system are:
configuration of the network with an unlimited number of
remote units, configurable only from the central unit
dedicated hardware for communication between remote and
central unit
configuring the remote units with field sensors that are
appropriate for differing needs
easy installation and maintenance
acquisition and confirmation of data accessible in
differentiated modes, according to authorization and
protection criteria
proprietary platform for Internet access
management and analysis of data.

The Centralized Data Base (DB) is made up of the combination of


data in record format arriving directly from remote units.
The tamper-proof nature of this database is a particularly
important feature and is an essential requisite for users who wish
to guarantee a service that is both objective and probing.
Once received from the remote unit and stored in the database,
the data can no longer be modified. This feature is a guarantee for
regulatory agencies that will possess incontrovertible figures,
operators who are interested in demonstrating the transparency
of their activities and their concern for public problems, and
citizens who will discover in e-smoguard an instrument that
satisfies their need for clear and trustworthy information.
It is possible to allow different access levels to information
according to uses, as follows:
access to all data and connected processing
access to stored data from particular remote units and
connected processing
limited access to several processes (typically comprehensive
values) linked to stored data.
The most important processes include:
setting the measurement methods for field levels detected by
remote units
comparison of field levels with pre-determined threshold levels
alarm generation (with different indicators of seriousness) in
case signals exceed threshold levels
management of events, history, graphic construction statistics,
etc...

CENTRAL UNIT ARCHITECTURE

The Central Unit is made up of:


one or more GSM terminals (according to the number of
remote units)
one management unit for the terminals which receives the
transmitted data from the remotes and converts them into a
protocol accepted by the Internet server
an internet server designed according to predicted service
volume, upon which the data is organized in both a detailed
and final manner, according to pre-determined tables, and then
made available to different users communities
dedicated software developed to manage the server,
communication, access to the databases and all other
accessory services that characterise e-smoguard. The minimum
Hardware configuration of the server requires a Pentiumcompatible processor with at least 64 MB of RAM. The
software uses a UNIX platform, with a MySQL database, and a
PHP compiled web server (minimum PHP, 3.0.16).
