This article elaborates the theoretical and measurement technique to evaluate precise and accurate electric (E)‐field strength for frequency range 0.8–2.4 GHz (2G and 3G communication spectrum). The E‐field using a probe is precisely measured inside an indigenously designed transverse electromagnetic (TEM) cell as per IEEE Std. 1309‐2013. Key parameters for precise E‐ field measurement are explicated with their measurement results such as probe linearity, field distortion, and mismatch losses. E‐field strength of probe has been reported 9.91 V/m with an expanded uncertainty (k ∼ 2) of ±0.58 V/m for +18 dBm fed power at 915 MHz frequency. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
