Abstract

Overview

This paper discusses the experimental analysis of electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure specific to 5G technologies, with a focus on frequency ranges FR1 and FR2. The research includes data from three different countries: Austria, Italy, and Malaysia.

Findings

  • Assessment of both short-term and long-term EMF exposure in 5G frequency bands.
  • Identification of increased measurement uncertainty and variability in data across studied frequency ranges.
  • Exposure analysis adheres to established EMF exposure regulations (e.g., ICNIRP and IEEE).

Conclusion

The study highlights critical aspects of measurement procedures necessary for accurate EMF exposure estimation in 5G systems. The findings underscore the importance of refining measurement standards to ensure reliable application in practical environments.
