Base station outdoor electromagnetic environment

Do 5G application base stations meet the electromagnetic radiation environment control limits?

According to the analysis of the monitoring data, the electromagnetic radiation environment levels of 5G application base stations at various monitoring points in urban areas all meet the requirements of the Electromagnetic Environment Control Limits (GB8702-2014).

Do 5G base stations need a field meter?

Fast variation of the user load and beamforming techniques may cause large fluctuations of 5G base stations field level. They may be underestimated, resulting in compliance of base stations not fitting the requirements. Apparently, broadband field meters would not be adequate for measuring such environments.

What are the basic restrictions to human exposure to electromagnetic fields?

The basic restrictions to human exposure to EM fields, for general public, established by the mentioned guidelines are summarized in Table 1. Table 1. Basic restrictions for electromagnetic field exposure from 100 kHz to 300 GHz, for averaging intervals of 6 min .

Does a 5G base station increase field levels?

Adding the 5G systems does not significantly increase the overall field levels in the surroundings of the base station, in normal working conditions, compared to those of the previous generation. This has been checked during a measurement campaign in the surroundings of a 5G base station under operation.
