RF EMF exposure of beam-steering slot array in 5g user equipment at 15 GHz

Above 6 GHz or 10 GHz, the radio frequency (RF) electro-magnetic field (EMF) exposure of user equipment (UE) is evaluated in terms of free space power density. The RF EMF exposure compliance of the fifth-generation (5G) UE with an 8 × 1 beam-steering slot array is analyzed in this paper. The maximum exposure (ME) and corresponding maximum permissible radiated power (MPRP) are calculated for different regulatory guidelines. The results give a good estimation on the range of compliance distance and MPRP of 5G UE, and provide the insight for the future RF EMF exposure compliance for the 5G communication. More results and comparisons of different sorts of arrays will be presented in the conference.
