On the Use of Efficient Methods for the Assessment of Radiated Field from Radio Base Station Antennas and Related Legal Issues Pertaining to Human Exposure to Nonionizing Radiation

The paper reviews some models for the determination of the field levels due to radiation of base station antennas to which humans could be exposed. Some efficient analytical/numerical methods used by authors are reviewed and number of illustrative computational examples for realistic scenarios of human exposure to radio base station antennas are presented. Certain measurement procedures are also outlined and measurement results are presented for typical exposure scenarios. The state-of-the art regarding corresponding international and national legal issues is presented in the paper, as well.
