Comparison of Everyday Exposure Situations to RF Radiation regarding different Sources including Mobile Communications with Respect to 5G

In the near future, the demand of wireless communications will elevate tremendously. The rapid increasing number of mobile end devices will require a much higher data rate connection than nowadays e.g. to smart homes (Internet of Things, IoT) or to the Internet. The radiation power pattern of base stations and mobile end devices will completely change for the 5G Next Generation Mobile Network technology, which is expected to use frequency bands up to 100 GHz. The electro-magnetic exposure especially to human bodies will increase in the future, because most of the wireless Internet connections are realized in RF technology. In particular, the technology standard 5G and others are being promoted and realised worldwide, which rises a public discussion regarding the relevant non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation exposure for the population. To compare the everyday exposure situation to different RF radiation sources six different measurement campaigns are presented in this contribution. In particular this publication presents a comparison of the non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation exposure between a mobile base station, a mobile phone, mobile phone radiation in a moving vehicle, WLAN base stations, state of the art TV broadcast transmitters like DVB-T2 and 5G base stations as part of long-term measurements. In particular, the different power flux densities of the technologies mentioned are measured, compared and discussed with regard to the legal framework and limits.
