Analysis of Electromagnetic Radiation from Cellular Networks Considering Geographical Distance and Height of the Antenna

In this article, an analysis of the electromagnetic radiation emitted by Cellular Networks and other wireless communication devices located in urban and rural areas, is carried out by taking the different exposure situations into account. The emitted RF radiation power values are estimated through the derived theoretical analysis. As per the FCC, TRAI and DOT standards, it is less hazardous if the observed radiation is below −30 dBm. From these standards, the compliance distance from the cellular base stations antenna can be determined. The EM radiation emitted from the different RF sources is analyzed by computing the radiation power theoretically at given distance from the cellular base station antenna. This analysis is further enhanced by considering the some more parameters like distance of separation between the situated antennas, frequency of operation besides the parameter of distance from the RF source. This improved analysis adds accuracy in determining the compliance distance beyond which the emitted radiation is not significant.
