Continuation of Question 10/5 studied in 1997-2000
Type of question
Task-oriented
Reason for question
The growth of mobile and radio systems has increased the attention of
the public on the level of the electromagnetic fields in the environment.
This growth is driving telecommunication operators to control, to measure
and to calculate the electromagnetic field radiated into the environment
by telecommunication systems and radio terminals in order to comply with
the electromagnetic field limits proposed by international bodies (such
as the International Conference on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection,
ICNIRP) or national authorities.
Text of question
The purpose of this question is to study measuring techniques, procedures
and calculation techniques for evaluating the electromagnetic field due
to telecommunication systems and radio terminals.
The study will review the use of:
- broadband probe for site measurements: accuracy uncertainty, influence
of the human body on the measurement results, etc.;
- use of different antennas: broadband antennas, dipoles, etc.;
- approximation associated to various algorithms for validity of
electromagnetic field predictions.
Specific objective and time-frame
One or more recommendations, revision of Recommendation K.52,
containing the measuring techniques and procedures for evaluating the
electromagnetic field due to telecommunication plants and radio terminals
with regard to possible working practices against human exposure.
Relationship to other
- Recommendations
- Standardization bodies
- World Health Organization, ICNIRP, IEEE, CENELEC
