Annotation in Czech
The project will allow one to quantify the human exposure to (sub-)mm waves as needed to monitor the compliance with safety limits and will provide data for further regulatory action in the future. Furthermore, it will enable the optimisation of new technology with regard to reliability and optimum performance at lowest possible radiation levels. It will help to establish millimetre and THz technology as measurement tool where reliability is mandatory. The results of this project will help the competitiveness of European research institutions and manufacturers of THz measurement systems. The required impact will be achieved by implementation of new products (such as detectors and radiometers) and calibration services, standardisation activities, maintaining a dedicated website, a newsletter, publications in scientific and trade journals, a training course and presentation of the project results at national meetings and international conferences including a final workshop dedicated to the disseminationof project results.

Project results evaluation
The goal of the project was to design and characterize a free-space spectrometer for complex permittivity measurement. The spectrometer is based on a commercial vector network analyzer with frequency extenders 50-500 GHz. The project brought new findings for calibration of spectrometers, measurement uncertainty evaluation and characterization of material properties in mm-wave frequency bands.
