Reduction of electromagnetic field pollution in 3D space using a genetic algorithm

Electromagnetic field pollution caused by various human-made sources can pose a health hazard, especially in urban and dense populated areas. Many independent service providers install new electromagnetic sources (transmitters) usually without mutual coordination. In this paper an investigation is presented for adjustment of transmitters' parameters (location in 3D space and power) to minimize a health hazard caused by electromagnetic radiation, at the same time satisfying service availability (minimal reception of electromagnetic field strength for each provider). In this research one, two and three transmitter with a uniform radiation diagrams were positioned within the observed area and their parameters were adjusted (location in 3D space and power) taking into account electromagnetic field constraints in areas where people reside. Using proposed GA aided method for transmitters' parameter adjustment, promising results were achieved.
