The measured and predicted electromagnetic environment at urban hospitals
P. Vlach,B. Segal,T. Pavlasek +2 more
TL;DR: Although measured fields generally remained below 3 V/m, EMI still caused medical equipment malfunctions at the five hospitals, and the line-of-sight prediction method provided a worst-case estimate of the electromagnetic environmental hazard.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
The electromagnetic environment due to portable sources in a typical hospital room
TL;DR: In this article, the electromagnetic environment, due to portable sources, inside a typical Montreal area hospital room, was measured in the 148-174 MHz, 425-480 MHz and 825-850 MHz ranges over a period of 24 hours.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cross-floor signal propagation inside a contemporary ferro-concrete building at 434, 862, and 1705 MHz
TL;DR: In this paper, cross-floor signal propagation characteristics at 434, 862, and 1705 MHz were assessed from measured data in a building similar to a hospital as a first step toward maximizing electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) between wireless radiators within a hospital and medical equipment.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Hospital emergency room electromagnetic environment
TL;DR: In this paper, the electromagnetic environment of the emergency room of an urban hospital was estimated, characterizing electric fields over a 4.4-day period, and the observed field level variation implied a substantial temporal variation of electromagnetic-interference-malfunction risk to medical equipment.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Variation of emergency-room electromagnetic-interference potential
TL;DR: In this paper, the diurnal behavior of electromagnetic fields within a typical urban-hospital emergency room was measured during a 4.4-day period, and the merged 24-hour field plot showed strong day-night variation of field.
