In process of conducting experimental work related to the use of sources of electromagnetic (EM) radiation in the MHz and GHz frequency ranges, the question arises of assessing the impact of such radiation on the human body, since researchers are exposed to it for a significant period. As a rule, generators of high-frequency radiation in the MHz and lower GHz frequency ranges do not always provide adequate protection for engineering personnel from the effects of the EM fields generated. Therefore, the assessment of the quantitative characteristics of the EM power emitted during the operation of these generators is quite important, since this makes it possible to further determine its impact within the generally accepted parameters of radiofrequency dosimetry. In this work, the quantitative characteristics of the radiation of the SA6 generator, which generates EM radiation in the range up to 6.2 GHz, were measured; the experimental equipment includes a USB-SA44B spectrum analyzer with appropriate software that allows conducting research in a wide range of the lower GHz frequency spectrum.
