Patent ID: 11940477
Assignee: UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME DU LAC
Field: Measurement (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 17:
18. An electromagnetic exposure testing apparatus, comprising:
a transmitting device with multiple transmit chains;
a measurement device configured to measure exposure values at a variety of measurement points; and
a controller configured to send signals and capable of storing electromagnetic exposure values produces the measurement device;
wherein the controller directs the transmitting device to send a first set of excitation signals from each transmit chain of the transmitting device and the measurement device measures a first set of electromagnetic exposure values produced in response to the first set of excitation signals, and the results are stored by the controller;
wherein the controller directs the transmitting device to adaptively send a second set of excitation signals wherein the second set of excitation signals are a combination of the transmit chain that has produced the maximum exposure value in combination with another transmit chain;
wherein the measurement device measures the second set of electromagnetic exposure values produced in response to the one or more second excitation signals, and the controller stores the second set of electromagnetic exposure values; and
wherein the controller estimates local electromagnetic exposure values for each measurement point based on the first and second set of electromagnetic exposure values.
