| Summary: | Introduction/purpose: This paper presents initial development of the
procedure for electric field estimation in the vicinity of 5G base stations.
Methods: The procedure allows determination of future radiation levels
before traffic is established over applied antenna systems on the basis of
measured values of electric field levels caused by the signal forming
Synchronization Signal Block. It is possible to perform necessary
calculations for a very accurate estimation even if some important
parameters of the radiation characteristics (such as the frequency span
between the frequency carriers on the radio interface) are not a priori
known. In this way, communication with mobile system operators before
measurement is significantly simplified because operators do not need to
know system technical details.
Results: The developed formula for electric field estimation is verified
comparing the calculated values by its implementation to the practical
results obtained by intensive measurements on a great number of 5G
base stations in a highly developed country. The formula gives a
pessimistic result, i.e. a higher electric field level than it is obtained by all
such performed measurements.
Conclusion: This estimation allows mobile system operators to predict
whether the electromagnetic field around base stations could be
dangerous for human health when systems come to full operation while
considering national and international recommendations dealing with
radiation levels.
