About Microvolts per metre
The microvolt per metre (µV/m) equals 10⁻⁶ V/m, the standard unit for the electric component of weak radio-frequency fields measured far from transmitters. GPS L1 signals arrive at Earth's surface at about 4 µV/m; FM broadcast receivers require a minimum of 10-50 µV/m for acceptable reception; regulatory RF exposure limits for base stations are typically set in the range 1-100 µV/m. 1 µV/m = 10⁻⁶ V/m.
About Gigavolts per metre
The gigavolt per metre (GV/m) equals 10⁹ V/m, the scale for avalanche breakdown in semiconductor junctions, electron field emission from metal tips, and intense laser-pulse focal fields. Silicon p-n junction avalanche fields are 0.3-0.5 GV/m; electron field emission from tungsten tips begins near 1-5 GV/m; intense femtosecond laser pulses produce peak fields exceeding 1 GV/m in the focal volume. 1 GV/m = 10⁹ V/m.
