Broadband probes cannot discriminate frequencies, i.e. they cannot measure the contribution of different services to the total level of exposure. Their advantage is that they allow us quickly and easily to obtain the total level of exposure caused by all the services present, which is the ultimate aim of radio frequency safety studies. Broadband devices allow us to make the following in a very simple manner: All that can also be done with equipment that discriminates frequencies (spectrum analysis types), but the process is much more complicated and time-consuming. That type of device only needs to be used where measurements taken with broadband devices are near their limits, as specified by different radio frequency safety regulations.
