RF electromagnetic field levels extensive geographical monitoring in 5G scenarios: dynamic and standard measurements comparison

摘要

The document presents a potentially innovative methodology for carrying out large-scale measurements of radiofrequency electromagnetic field. The system consists in performing dynamic measurements using a control unit equipped with the appropriate probes positioned on the roof of a car moving along the territory. Aim of the work is to provide a methodology to assess field strength variability which characterize future 5G scenarios with a combination of measurements carried out in a dynamic way in comparison with the static measurement approach which is commonly adopted for environmental impact assessment. The possibility to perform massive measurements in a short time could become extremely useful in the next future to evaluate electromagnetic field levels, when the implementation of the new 5G services will lead to an increased complexity in the use of the spectrum and new antenna systems (Active Antenna Systems).
