Cellular phone base stations installation violate the compatibility regulations

In mobile telecommunication, radio frequency waves that are used to carry the intelligence of cell phone calls is actually the electromagnetic energy transmitted through space. Electronic equipments such as medical devices, radio amateur etc that is located nearer to the cellular phone base station receives much more electromagnetic energy that can adversely affect its operations thereby cause interference. This paper presents a case study in China (Wuhan) that investigates the effect of electromagnetic radiation on electronic equipment due to base stations built on top of or near hospitals, clinics and residential buildings. The path from the base station transmitter through the air was examined and later linked to the electromagnetic field theory to build models of different paths for interfering signals which were sustained by simulation. The conditions determining the risk of interference were considered. The main purpose of this paper is to study the existing standards such as EMC-directive in regard to interference on electronic equipments and to disseminate the EMC education about the cellular phone base stations installations.
