Abstract
The fifth generation (5G) of mobile communication technology poses lots of questions while introducing significant improvements compared with previous generations. The most sensitive question is related to the safety of human exposure. The aim of present work was to analyze, with a few chosen examples, two of the most significant features of 5G emissions: the extreme spatial variability of the exposure and the nonlinear dynamics characteristics of the temporal variability of the exposure. Two models of patch antenna arrays operating at 3.7 GHz with varying beam forming and beam steering capabilities were considered for an analysis of the specific absorption rate of electromagnetic energy deposition in tissues of a head model. This allowed clear emphasis on the influence of the antenna geometry and feeding peculiarities on the spatial variability of exposure. The second approach implemented the original idea of following the nonlinear recurrence behavior of exposure in time, and underlined the time variability characteristics of emissions with a real-life mobile phone running different 5G applications. Time series of the emitted electric-field strengths were recorded by means a real-time spectrum analyzer and two near-field probes differently positioned in the beam. The presence of laminar emissions, chaotic emissions, determinism and recurrence in the exposures prove the potential for recurrence quantification in predicting time variability features of 5G exposure. Overall, the impact of 5G signals on living bodies, with the highest possible man-made spatial and temporal variability, may have very unpredictable bio-medical consequences.
