Abstract :
A numerical analysis of different classes of radio base station antennas has been carried out to validate power density prediction formulas for the assessment of the RF safety compliance at basestation sites. Measuring or estimating the equivalent incident power density can assess the compliance distance near radio basestation antennas. Formulas for the prediction of the average or peak equivalent power density may lead to reliable and cost-effective ways to perform simple radio basestation site compliance assessments according to both IEEE and ICNIRP guidelines criteria
