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

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.

The cheaper meters that detect up to 6 or 8 Ghz are actually detecting 5G.  The majority of 5G frequencies used will be in the lower microwave range starting at 1 Ghz.  I am not aware of countries saying they will use a specific frequency but carriers are divvying up the frequencies they will use.  In Minnesota most of the carriers are using lower frequencies under 8 Ghz so the regular meters will detect this, but Verizon is the exception.  They will be using 27 Ghz and 39 Ghz.  To detect that you would need one of the expensive meters that start at $1,400 and up.  I have also read that some larger packets of information may use pulsed frequencies of 70 to 90+ Ghz.  I am not aware of a meter that could measure this as they top out at 50 Ghz.  At any rate a regular meter that detects up to 8 Ghz should be a good start for measuring most of the 5G signals out there.  Much of the increased risk will actually come from additional EMF radiation from closer proximity antennas and routers, and most of the good cheaper meters do a good job of measuring EMF.   I am planning on buying a Cornet ED88T which measures all EMF and RF up to 8 Ghz.

Hi I have just posted a link from my ebay to show the latest I have found that does measure 5g .. would like others thoughts on this meter please thank you

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.

Post what they responded. I am trying to buy a detector for 5G.

Hello. We unknowingly bought a house under a cell phone tower. I am determined to move now but don't want to make the same mistake. I want to make sure I get a meter that is accurate for 5G if possible just to not buy something now that will be antiquated by next year, however we want to move this coming year so need something soon. I have read a bunch and been recommended the HF35C RF Meter: HF35C RF Meter. It is directional but the range does not seem to be as good as the Acoustimeter for a similar USD price. Any help would be awesome! I will also likely buy the TriField just for EMF testing.

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) 

the Acousticom 2 will NOT measure 5G.  Since it only goes to 8Ghz that is far far far bwlow 5G frequencies which are around 30 Ghz

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?

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~

Wawemon RF40 - 40Ghz  $1400~

Nardalert S3 - 50Ghz $1700~

EME Guard - 40Ghz $1800~
