Associations between Individual and Geospatial Characteristics and Power of 4G Signals Received by Mobile Phones

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2025

This exposure assessment study analyzed smartphone-logged 4G LTE RSSI and GPS data from adults in France to identify determinants of downlink signal strength. RSSI varied with geospatial factors (distance to antennas, antenna density, urbanicity) and time of day, and was also influenced by technical smartphone parameters. The study reports an estimated electric field strength derived from RSSI, but notes high uncertainty in this conversion.

Assessment of 5G RF-EMF Exposure during Large-Scale Public Events via Field Measurements

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2025

This exposure-assessment study conducted field measurements of 5G downlink RF-EMF during a large public festival in Valencia, Spain, and compared them with a baseline day. Measurements covered 700 MHz and 3500 MHz bands across three network operators and five locations, using 6-minute and 30-minute durations. The study reports higher event-related power density (up to eightfold at 3500 MHz) but states that all measured levels remained well below international safety limits.

Temporal change of outdoor RF-EMF levels in four European countries: a microenvironmental measurement study

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2025

This microenvironmental measurement study assessed temporal trends in outdoor RF-EMF exposure between 2016 and 2023 in the Netherlands, Switzerland, Belgium, and Spain using harmonized walking-route measurements with exposimeters. The authors report no significant change in mobile base station (downlink) exposure between 2016 and 2023 and no consistent trend across microenvironments or countries. Reported median downlink exposure values ranged from 0.11 mW/m² (Switzerland, 2023) to 0.62 mW/m² (Netherlands, 2018).

Temporal Change of Outdoor Rf-Emf Levels Four in European Countries: A Microenvironmental Measurement Study

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2024

This microenvironmental measurement study assessed temporal trends in outdoor RF-EMF exposure from 2016 to 2023 in four European countries using repeated walking-route measurements with exposimeters. The abstract reports that data did not suggest significant changes in mobile base station (downlink) exposure over time and that trends were not consistent across individual microenvironments. Reported median downlink exposure values varied by country and year but did not indicate an overall increase despite higher mobile data traffic.
