Study on electromagnetic radiation tests of base stations and its influence scope

Abstract

Electromagnetic radiation has been recognized by more and more people and has made them feel frightened. Even in some cities, such phenomena have taken place that residents urge to remove established base stations, cut off feeder lines or prevent new base stations from being set up. Due to lack of in-depth research on electromagnetic radiation around base stations, communication operators in China fail to master detailed data so that they cannot be persuasive and usually lose the initiative when having disputes with the public. In this paper, all-round measurements have been conducted in hundreds of base stations in different types in several cities in China and some rules have been discovered about the electromagnetic radiation intensity of base station antennas and their influence scope.
