Parametric Study of the Radiated Field from Base Stations Using the Integral Equation Approach

The assessment of human exposure to high frequency (HF) radiation from base station antenna systems is carried out using the various methods of the electromagnetic-thermal dosimetry which starts with a calculation and/or measurements of the external fields. The present work deals with the calculation of the electric field radiated by a base station antenna system using rigorous Pocklington integro-differential approach arising from the wire antenna theory and related numerical solution procedures. In particular, a study on impact of the antenna length, height above ground, number of antennas, ground permittivity and conductivity for several operating frequency is given in the paper. A number of illustrative computational examples are given in the paper.
