Abstract

Overview

This study provides a comprehensive summary of the evaluation methods used for assessing the maximum EMF exposure in 5G networks. It highlights the necessity of using an extrapolation factor on instantaneous EMF measurements to align with guidelines.

Findings

• Current research on extrapolating 5G NR EMF measurements to maximum exposure levels is critical for meeting regulatory compliance.
• The study divides existing methods into frequency-selective and code-selective measurements.
• Discussion includes efforts at national and international levels to create standardized methods apt for recent 5G advancements.

Conclusion

The paper concludes that thorough examination and standardization of EMF measurement and extrapolation methods are essential for ensuring safety with the latest 5G deployments, aligning with global safety guidelines designed to protect humans and the environment.
