EMF exposure measurements on 4G/LTE mobile communication networks

This study reports preliminary results of a survey of the RF electromagnetic fields originating from Long-Term Evolution (LTE) base station antennas. Both indoor and outdoor measurements of LTE1800 and LTE2600 signals were conducted in a large urban area, around a number of LTE transmitters. The measured E-field exposure levels, extrapolated for maximum traffic load, were found to be well below the exposure limits recommended by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) for the general public. The results are in line with those of a few studies carried out recently in European countries.
