Abstract
Electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure from mobile networks is raising discussions not only on their safety levels but also on the assessment methods, since the evolution of technology among the various generations requires different measurement techniques. This paper describes an experimental study for measuring the 5G EMF emissions caused by mobile terminals. To consider a realistic worst-case scenario, the measurements were taken in the direction of maximum antenna gain of the devices while inducing maximum uplink traffic in the mobile channel. The results provide valuable feedback on the exposure assessment of the mobile terminals connected to 5G networks. Moreover the measurement setup and methodology can provide useful insights in developing exposure setups for future studies analyzing biological interactions with EMFs.
