Dual Evaluation and Spatial Analysis of RF-EMF Exposure in 5G: Theoretical Extrapolations and Direct Measurements
This exposure assessment study evaluated 5G RF-EMF exposure using both theoretical extrapolations and direct measurements in semiurban and urban settings, including a campus case study. Measured and extrapolated exposure levels were reported to be within ICNIRP recommended limits, even under high network data demand. The authors also report a strong correlation between theoretical and instantaneous field exposures, supporting the validity of their dual-method framework.
Key points
- Used a dual approach combining theoretical extrapolations with direct RF-EMF measurements under active 5G traffic conditions.
- Collected network parameters (e.g., cell ID and beam indices) using a code-selective scanner across 16 campus points.
- Generated spatial exposure maps using kriging interpolation in ArcGIS.
- Reported that both extrapolated and measured RF-EMF levels aligned with ICNIRP recommended limits.
- Reported that compliance with ICNIRP limits persisted under high network data demand scenarios.
- Found a strong correlation between theoretical estimates and instantaneous measured field exposures.
- Positioned the methodology as a framework for future RF-EMF exposure assessments and emphasized ongoing monitoring during 5G deployment.
