Designed to test radiofrequency electromagnetic field exposures from a choice of second, third, fourth or fifth generation (2G, 3G, 4G, 5G) mobile communication devices or any combination of these operating at 1800MHz. The setup is based on two R18 rectangular waveguide chambers that are blindly excited by a fully computer-controlled signal unit.
