Abstract
A new technique for near field measurements around wireless base station antennas is presented. Using these safety measurements the compliance boundaries of a base station are determined and compared with FDTD simulations. Excellent agreement is reported. The measurements are performed in a non-anechoic measurement site which results in a low-cost method.
