Abstract
AbstractFifth generation (5G) wireless communication is being rolled out around the world. In this work, the latest radio frequency electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure measurement results on commercial 28‐GHz band 5G base stations (BSs) deployed in the urban area of Tokyo, Japan, are presented. The measurements were conducted under realistic traffic conditions with a 5G smartphone and using both omnidirectional and horn antennas. First and foremost, in all cases, the electric‐field (E‐field) intensity is much lower (<−38 dB) than the exposure limits. The E‐field intensities for traffic‐off cases do not show any significant difference between the two antennas with the maximum being 3.6 dB. For traffic‐on cases, the omnidirectional antenna can undesirably capture the radio wave from the smartphone in some cases, resulting in a 7–13 dB higher E‐field intensity than that using the horn antenna. We also present comparative results between 4G long term evolution BSs and sub‐6‐GHz band and 28‐GHz band 5G BSs and provide recommendations on acquiring meaningful EMF exposure data. This work is a further step toward the standardization of the measurement method regarding quasi‐millimeter/millimeter wave 5G BSs.
