Abstract:
Electromagnetic radiations from GSM (global system for mobile communications) base stations were measured at far fields at a distance above 50 meters away from the base station using hyper log antenna with Spectran 6080 (spectrum analyzer). The uncertainty of the measurement was taken into consideration during conversion from peak powers to peak power densities. In this paper, we analyzed the measured field values to see how the values differ and compared the field measurement with the simulation results. Also, the field result was compared with international safety level standard as given by ICNIRP, and was found to be about 0.06% lower. The result also showed that the peak power density decreases as we moved away from the base stations. The total obtained radiations level within the environment stood at 5.2284 mW/m2. This is even below the safety standard level as recommended. Finally, we looked at the implications of such variation within the environment.
