Introduction/purpose: This paper presents initial development of the procedure for electric field estimation in the vicinity of 5G base stations.
Knowledge of the electromagnetic radiation characteristics of 5G base stations under different circumstances is useful for risk prevention, assessment, and management.
This paper selects several typical scenes (Open spaces, building concentration areas, user and building intensive areas) for electromagnetic radiation monitoring, and
Introduction/purpose: This paper presents initial development of the procedure for electric field estimation in the vicinity of 5G base stations.
In this paper, a distributed collaborative optimization approach is proposed for power distribution and communication networks with 5G base stations. Firstly, the model of 5G base stations
Through the detection of the surrounding electromagnetic environment before and after the construction of a 5G base station, the impact of 5G communication on the electromagnetic
In order to evaluate the electromagnetic environment of 5G base station, measurement and evaluation of the electromagnetic environment are studied. The 12 measuring points are

The uncertainty associated to the user load clearly represents the dominant contribution. Fig.4. Spectrum of 5G signals with 0 % (purple), 10 % (yellow), 50 % (green), and 100 % (blue) load. 4. Measurement setup and environment
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.
Adding the 5G systems does not significantly increase the overall field levels in the surroundings of the base station, in normal working conditions, compared to those of the previous generation. This has been checked during a measurement campaign in the surroundings of a 5G base station under operation.
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. Apparently, broadband field meters would not be adequate for measuring such environments.
