Numerical Analysis and Measurement of Electric field Strength inside GTEM Cell at GSM Frequencies

A miniaturised gigahertz transverse electromagnetic (GTEM) cell is designed and fabricated to generate uniform electric (E-) field, essential for studying the radio frequency exposure effect on tissue equivalent liquids at global system for mobile (GSM) communication frequencies (914 MHz and 2.10 GHz). The simulation procedure is discussed and its results are compared with measurement data. The E-field strength inside the GTEM cell is scanned using a microstrip based E-field probe and complete uncertainty evaluation procedure is discussed. Theoretically, simulated and measured E-field strength is reported with expanded uncertainty.
