- Discussion of cell phone towers:
- First, find out which frequencies are used by the towers. Frequencies > 1 GHz or so are filtered by the Acquiris card (even with the highest "bandwidth" setting), while lower frequencies tend to be more problematic. Note that a company such as Verizon uses multiple frequencies at different towers (and sometimes in the same tower), so you need to find out the specific ones used there.
- You can test for the electromagnetic energy using an RF detector. See some pictures at this link, with a "3-axis antenna" and detector. The detector picked up the rigth frequencies for the cell towers and with the expected spatial pattern (turns out that the antennas are very directional and don't transmit any energy directly below, even a few meters down). That equipment is expensive ($15k?) but I think there are companies that can do the testing for you (that said, it may be almost as much work as bringing the AMS there, depending how hard that is...).
