5g base station electromagnetic wave battery protection

Why is a 5G network a challenge?

5G networks deployment poses new challenges when evaluating human exposure to electromagnetic fields. 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.

Can broadband field probes be used for 5G exposure assessment?

The use of broadband field probes for 5G exposure assessment is still possible under certain considerations and correcting the results considering the base station load and beamforming effects. 5G networks deployment poses new challenges when evaluating human exposure to electromagnetic fields.

Does 5G signal exposure affect base station compliance?

This agrees with measurements done in other countries whose authors conclude that the exposure to 5G signals is limited , , , but this does not assure the base station compliance as full load situation should be considered for such assessment. It also shows that the increase in the EMF field is due to the induced data traffic.

How will 5G base stations and devices work?

To address the demands of increased performance, 5G base stations and devices will use many antennas. Arrays of up to hundreds of small antennas at the base station will make it possible to focus the transmission of radio waves to maximize the signals that the connected devices receive. This is called beamforming or massive MIMO.
