I want to find a proper device to measure 5G Extreme High Frequencies

I have been suggested to buy the HF-ANALYSER HF38B.

I am not an expert in this sort of devices but it is mention that the top peak read the this analyser can measure is 2.7Ghz while the standard 5G Broadband expected in my town is 26Ghz which it makes it 10 times higher.


Can anyone please advise a suitable device for 5G Frequencies measurement.


Kind regards

Alejandro

It looks like 5G is rolling out and utilizing a wide range of frequencies.  Some of those frequencies are 12 Ghz and below.  For this we are recommending the Safe and Sound Pro 2 Meter.

Another good alternative to that meter would be the Acoustimeter AM10.  However, the AM10 does not have as wide of a frequency range.  Its specs only go up to 8 Ghz whereare the Safe and Sound Pro 2 goes up to 12 Ghz.

Neither of these meters will cover *all* 5G (5th Generation - not to be confused with 5Ghz - 5G does NOT stand for gigahertz) frequencies.  They will cover some, and likely be able to show you when 5G is present.  But these meters may not be able to actually measure all of the frequencies emitted by 5G antenna systems.

We aren't aware of any commercially-available meters for 5G yet.  I know companies are working on them, but there isn't a meter that I can recommend at this time for 5G.  I'm sure there will be meters soon.  I really, really, hope so.  It is needed!

Wow I see. I am thinking to buy from the other side the 'Acousticom 2 Acoustimeter RF Detector Radio Frequency Microwave Meter RF Meter' which spectrum frequency detector is 200Mhz to 8000Mhz but I wouldn't like to invest on this if the frequencies very soon will be a lot higher and my device wont detect them.


Some websites are announcing this device is able to detect 5G signals but in my country 'NZ' the starting frequency for 5G announced will be  '26 GHz' or 26,000 Mhz so there is no chance this device will perceive them in my opinion. Does that sound fair to say in your view?

I almost bought the Acoustimeter AM-10 today.  It's a very expensive meter and I would be very disappointed if it can't measure 5G either.  Looking at the frequency spectrum in can measure and the 5G frequency possibilities here in Australia it does look like it won't be able to measure it at all.  I'm going to send an message to EMFields and ask them if and when they plan to measure 5G.

Do you have any update on available 5G meters?

I am also from far north NZ and would like to have an update on when a new meter is out to measure 5G .. I have the acousticom meter which is a great wee meter and am hoping to get the next meter through this same company

It already exists but it is very expensive...   it is just like they don't want you to be able to measure 5G radiation on a commercial level before it is too late...

Here is a list of what is available in mid-2019:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_RF_safety_monitor

Wavecontrol SMP2 + WPF40 field probe - 40Ghz $3000~

https://img.directindustry.com/images_di/photo-g/58470-9065864.jpg

Wawemon RF40 - 40Ghz  $1400~

Nardalert S3 - 50Ghz $1700~

EME Guard - 40Ghz $1800~

any updates on 5g meters? Gigahertz solutions says there are some available from Rohde & Schwarz, Anritsu and Narda-STS. Can anyone find any links from them or prices?

I just found the "Acousticom 2" ($180 US) which claims to detect 5G radiation. It measures 200 - 8000mhz  (up to 8Ghz) It uses the same RF detector as their top of the line "Acoustimeter".($365US) 

Pace: 500 measurements

per second.

Sensitivity: (peak display): 0.01 - 6.00v/m (equals to 0.5 to 1000,000_uw/m2

Battery: 9V (can use rechargeable)

Low Battery Indicator light (normally green for on, turns to red)

Size: 110 x 63 x 21mm

Weight: 140g. (including battery)

NOTE:  I just found one I like better. It has a better display and seems more user friendly. Check out the TriField TF2

. It also claims to detect 5G ($168US)
