The introduction of 5G networks and availability of higher frequency ranges, such as millimeter wavebands, requires a significant increase in the number of base stations, particularly in the form of small cell deployments. These 5G systems have been identified by regulatory bodies for EMF safety consideration and require accurate evaluation of electromagnetic field exposure.
In this discussion, we present an overview of an effective ray-tracing approach to generate accurate compliance boundaries for 5G antennas. The beamforming nature of these 5G antennas is also taken into account. This is achieved by utilizing the traffic envelope radiation pattern from 5G antenna manufacturers, that encapsulates any possible position of the high gain, narrow beam. The modeling techniques demonstrate that RF hazards can be identified and aids in the compliance and deployment of sites to avoid public and occupational safety hazards. Register here.
