Abstract:
The 5th generation (5G) communication system with an initial frequency below 6GHz can include the 26 -28 GHz bands often called millimeter wave (mmW), providing more capacity than the current 2G, 3G, and 4G RF signals. There is a public concern that 5G is harmful. Hence, scientific research is necessary to determine the potential of its benefits over the health risk effects. Ensuring the optimal performance, efficient spectrum utilization, and adherence to regulatory standards of 5G networks heavily relies on the accurate measurement and analysis of the intricate radiofrequency (RF) signals at their core. In this study, an assessment of electromagnetic radiation exposure was conducted at three distinct sample positions, precisely determined using GPS coordinates corresponding to celestial arrangements. The center frequency and span were carefully established to delineate the analysis range accurately. To ensure the utmost precision in our measurements, the resolution bandwidth (RBW) and video bandwidth (VBW) were meticulously configured. The calculated average power across these positions was found to be 4.77±2.77 Watts. Additionally, the average specific absorption rate (SAR) for an individual with a body mass of 60 kilograms was determined to be 0.08 W.kg⁻¹, a value aligning with the SAR limits established for general population/uncontrolled exposure, which also stands at 0.08 W.kg⁻¹ when averaged over the entire body. Furthermore, the peak spatial-average SAR, computed as an average over any 1-gram tissue volume resembling a cube, was found to be 1.6 W.kg-1.
