Abstract

Overview

This paper scrutinizes the EMF exposure assessment issues encountered during 5G-related measurement campaigns in Austria, Italy, and Malaysia, focusing on FR1 and FR2 frequency bands.

Findings

  • Extensive short-term and long-term experiments have been conducted.
  • While compliance with EMF exposure regulations (ICNIRP and IEEE) was confirmed, complex issues have nonetheless led to increased measurement uncertainty and data variability.
  • The importance of precise measurement procedures and setups is emphasized for accurately estimating EMF exposure.

Conclusion

The findings underscore the need for refining measurement methods to ensure they are effectively applicable in practical scenarios, making them crucial for researchers and committees working on EMF safety standards.
