Features
The Selective Radiation Meter (SRM-3006) is our second generation, hand-held system for performing narrowband analysis of electromagnetic fields. Unlike our NBM
series (broadband), the SRM-3006 has the ability to give you results of individual
emitters and also generate a total of all emitters. The SRM-3006 allows you to verify
compliance with the US FCCs 5% Rule as well as accurately detect fields well below
domestic and international standards. The SRM-3006 also has the ability to measure
fields more accurately than broadband equipment and maybe more importantly, it
is able to give you more information than just the total like exactly what emitter or
emitters are generating the most of the power.

Electric and Magnetic Field Measurement

SRM-3006 Selective Radiation Meter
No other measurement system gives you the information and accuracy that the SRM-3006 does. Narda Safety
Test Solutions provides complete calibration information standard with every unit, just as youd expect from
the world leader.
The US version of the SRM-3006 consists of a basic unit
(meter) and a 3-axis, E-field antenna. The meter is really an
optimized spectrum analyzer covering 9 kHz to 6 GHz and
modified to make accurate field strength readings with the
help of our antennas. You can operate the meter with any type
of antenna for special measurements (direction finding, DTV
measurements, Roberts dipoles) but youll be impressed by
the performance of Nardas designs. We supply our SRM-3006
with a 3-axis design that covers 27 MHz to 3 GHz that is calibrated at 20 different frequencies and reliably works down
to 200 V/m . This portable, rugged and splash-proof system
incorporates a highly readable color display, GPS receiver
and microphone for voice recording. Also supplied is our full
SRM-TS software package, a 1.5 meter cable to separate the
antenna from the meter and charger, manual and other accessories inside a very protective carrying case.
Narda offers additional antennas that youll find listed at the
back of this data sheet. We have lower and higher frequency
E-field antennas and some single axis designs that offer even
higher accuracy. Narda can also supply single or 3-axis H-field
antennas. Each antenna is individually calibrated and its factors are automatically accounted for as soon as the antenna
is plugged in. We also offer longer cables for special measurement needs, non-metallic tripods, external or mobile battery
chargers with extra battery packs, carrying pouches basically everything you might need to get the survey done.
Every SRM-3006 has the ability to perform single or multiple measurements that can be averaged and/or stored in
the meter for download to a computer. You can set-up the

Overview with Safety Evaluation: The services to be checked are

recorded in editable tables. Theres no complicated evaluation needed
in Safety Evaluation Mode. The numerical result shows the individual
contributions of the services as well as the overall level in terms of the
permitted limit value.

SRM-3006 the way you like and store a complete configuration for later use or repeated uses. You can set up parameters
for time controlled storing that only logs the data you want
above a certain threshold level. Each system has an embedded GPS receiver and microphone, so every stored reading
is supplied with GPS coordinates and can have an audio description added.

Applications
The SRM-3006 has some special capabilities when it comes
to RF safety measurements. In addition we have added some
other operational modes (UMTS P-CPICH) for common engineering measurements. But if you simply want to perform
safety measurements the SRM-3006 makes it simple.
SAFETY EVALUATION MODE
Have you ever made a broadband measurement and wish
you really knew what all the emissions all around you were
really adding? The Safety Evaluation Mode is a very popular
method to make a reading that simply separates emitters
the way you would like them displayed. We include multiple
sample tables in the meter we deliver to you that you can use
as is, or modify for your own geographical area or interest. Its
easy to make your own tables that quickly and cleanly show
the total level of individual emitters or bands. You can display
the results in common field strength or equivalent power
density, or the easily understood % of standard units shown
below. You can easily modify these tables and identify each
frequency band or emitter by the name that you choose. You
can add or remove entities as you see fit, thereby customizing
the display for your area or need. We even offer two different
displays, a common tabular listing as well as a bar graph listing, making evaluation of data quick and accurate.
This is a very powerful way to display multiple emitter data in
a way that even non-technical persons understand and technical persons can appreciate.

Safety Table Entries can also be displayed as bars on a graph, quickly

identifying what service (or frequency) is providing the most power to
your selected safety table.

Electric and Magnetic Field Measurement

SRM-3006 Selective Radiation Meter

Classic Spectrum Analysis: Result evaluation using markers and delta

markers. For example, the integration function can be used to determine the channel power level. Special feature: Service Identification by
means of pre-recorded service values.

Safety Evaluation in the UMTS Range: The individual channels with

their channel numbers are shown next to each other in the bar graph
display, just like a textbook. The T bar on the extreme right shows
the total power density. The O bar shows the contributions from the
frequency gaps (others) between the services

SPECTRUM ANALYSIS MODE

Spectrum Analysis Mode makes finding hidden or intermittent emitters easy. Perhaps you didnt expect a certain
frequency to be used in your area, but in this mode that emitter can be quickly and easily identified by the frequency and
level its operating at. This gives you the real story of what is
happening right now when and where you are performing
the measurement. The SRM-3006 allows easy settings of frequencies and resolution bandwidths with a powerful marker
function that lets you see each significant signal, set a marker
on it and zoom to it in a rapid manner. When it comes time to
save a spectrum view the SRM saves the entire dataset rather
than just a picture. With the supplied SRM-TS software you
are able to even post-process information thereby enhancing
detected data for your survey reports.

LEVEL RECORDER MODE

Level Recorder Mode allows you to particularly watch one
signal or band over a long time period. The display is optimized to give you four results, Maximum Peak, Actual Peak
(present reading), Maximum RMS and RMS. RMS Actual is an
average over a time that you choose from 0.48 seconds to 30
minutes. This makes long term monitoring of an emitter easy
and supplies all the data you might need to fully evaluate its
contribution to the overall site levels.

When using the SRM-3006 to direction find or search out

cable leakage the Spectrum Analysis Mode with our overall system design makes it a simple, portable task. First is the
SRMs capability to add antennas into its memory. You can
easily import calibration data of your existing antennas and/
or cables and have the SRM account for them in its display.

Options

SPATIAL AVERAGING
FCC license holders will find the built-in spatial averaging feature very powerful. Broadcasters can employ the 1.5m cable
along with optional antenna holders and a non-metallic tripod to make accurate and repeatable measurements at their
transmitter sites. GPS logs exactly where the measurement
was taken and the narrowband performance means you just
survey your emissions. Cellular operators can also use the
fast time averaging for a quick vertical spatial average sweep,
again logging just your emission out and beyond the 5%
distance.

narda Safety Test Solutions an

TIME CONTROLLED STORING

The SRM can store measurements under timer control by
specifying the start date, start time, measurement duration,
and other parameters.

UMTS P-CPICH DEMODULATION

This option is useful for cellular phone companies and their
consultants. The SRM-3006 automatically identifies every site
and sector that it received a UMTS scrambling code from.
The SRM-3006 can then measure the field strength (or power
density) of the associated pilot channel (P-CPICH) at the same
time. The SRM-3006 also shows the sum of all P-CPICH levels as an overall value (Total). The Analog measured value for
the frequency channel is also shown for comparison. You can
also set a factor that the SRM can use to extrapolate the field
strength that would result if all channels were fully loaded.
Therefore, instead of guessing what the UMTS signal is (at
measurement time) and how it relates to the maximum possible signal strength that the site could generate, now you
can measure and estimate with confidence.

SRM-3006 Selective Radiation Meter
SCOPE MODE
The Scope Mode incorporates a high speed oscilloscope
that displays pulse modulated signals down to a resolution
of 31.25 ns. This allows high speed characterization of WiMax
signals along with any other pulsed signal below 6 GHz. This
mode allows the communications engineer and technician
an extended and powerful capability in a system that they
needed already.
LONG TERM EVOLUTION (LTE) / 4G
LTE, also generally but less correctly known as 4G (4th generation wireless), can be utilized in the frequency ranges 700
MHz, 900 MHz, 1.8 GHz, 2.1 GHz and 2.6 GHz.
As with UMTS, LTE uses individual cells, which are differentiated by their cell numbers (cell ID, 0 to 503). Each cell can
also use one, two or four antennas (multiple input multiple
output, MIMO).

Result of an LTE measurement with four cell-specific power values.

The SRM 3006 shows the individual values obtained by demodulation
and their total in the bottom line (Total) as well as the analog measured values (Analog) similar to the UMTS option.

LTE uses a special method of modulation called orthogonal

frequency domain modulation access (OFDMA). This distributes the information across many sub-carriers spaced at
intervals of 15 kHz, each of which is modulated by QPSK, 16
QAM or 64 QAM. Frequency division duplex (FDD) is generally used to separate the uplink and downlink directions (from
the subscriber to the base station and vice versa), although
time division duplex (TDD) is also possible.
The LTE option equips users for all the crucial measurement
tasks on LTE systems with FDD. The SRM 3006:
supports all LTE channel bandwidths from 1.4 MHz to
20 MHz
automatically determines the cell ID and number of
antennas used
measures the average power values of the PSS and
SSS
measures the average power values of the Reference
Signal, separately for each antenna, or as average
power of all antennas used, or as maximum power of
all antennas used
offers automatic extrapolation using factors up to
10,000
All the usual SRM 3006 result types are available (see list,
right), which users can select individually. Combined with
the cell-specific power values, this gives up to 54 columns
of results.
