A Scoping Review on Technical Evaluation of Electromagnetic Field Emission In 5G Wireless Network and their Effects for Improved Performance

Abstract

This paper focuses on the technical evaluation of electromagnetic field emission in 5G wireless network. The technological advancement due to wireless communications and the generation of 5G mobile technologies can influence the health risks connected with the radio frequency (RF) emissions of a 5G network. In this paper, the effects of radiation emission in cellular base stations are highlighted and possible solutions that can reduce the menace are discussed. Most transmitters in the base stations are placed near to residential buildings or commercial premises which exposes human being to electromagnetic radiation. The deployment of 5G generation will provide improvement in communication system with ability to handle a larger number of connected devices than 4G generation at average speed of about 1Gbps. In conclusion, electromagnetic field (EMF) can be evaluated by electric and magnetic components to analyze the metrics which characterize 5G exposure in the power density (PD), electromagnetic field and specific absorption rate (SAR).
