Verification of Worst-Case Analytical Model for Estimation of Electromagnetic Background Created by Mobile (Cellular) Communications

Abstract

Results of experimental verification of the proposed analytical technique for calculation of the average electromagnetic background (EMB) intensity created by base stations of cellular communications, which is based on estimation of the average electromagnetic loading on area (EMLA) created by base stations, are presented. This verification is executed by comparison of the published results of measurements of levels of EMB generated by 2G/3G radio networks in more than 30 countries, with the results of corresponding analytical worst-case estimations of EMLA and average EMB intensity for the real and potential places of EMB measurements. Results of this comparison convincingly confirm the adequacy of the offered analytical technique for worst-case estimation of EMB created by mobile (cellular) communications, and also support its real practical importance for an assessment of electromagnetic ecology of various areas, electromagnetic safety of population and intersystem EMC in conditions of extremely fast development of radio networks and services of 4G/5G/6G.
