Indoor measurements of the power density close to mobile station antenna

Abstract

The public concern about the potential adverse health effects of the human exposure to the electromagnetic radiation of GSM (Global Standart for Mobile Communications) base stations has grown in the recent years. The increasing number of cellular telephony subscribers has led to an expansion of networks, with the installation of more base stations. This investigation aimed to provide information for the distribution of EMF (electromagnetic field) power density created from antenna at the university area in the Lithuania. We carried out measurements in particular periods of time a day in five of the investigation areas. The results are discussed, regarding both the obtained values and the factors that influence the measurements. The measured values were well below the maximum permissible exposure levels in the adopted HN 81:2005 in our country.
