Measurement and Computational Modeling of Radio-Frequency Electromagnetic Power Density Around GSM Base Transceiver Station Antennas

Evaluating exposure to radio-frequency emissions from base station antennas

Availability of efficient, reliable and reasonably simple procedures providing assistance in evaluating human exposure to radiofrequency fields from base station antennas is essential for mobile communications. In this paper, sample results of “rigorous” full-wave numerical analysis of the electromagnetic field morphology in vicinity of a typical representative base station panel antenna are pr...

Estimating the Computational Requirements of a Software GSM Base Station

In this paper, we describe the software implementation of a GSM base station and consider the performance of each of its Radio Interface components. The performance of each software module is evaluated using both a % CPU metric and a processor-independent metric based on SPEC benchmarks. These results can be used to dimension systems, e.g., to estimate the number of GSM channels that can be sup...

GSM Base Station Subsystem Management Application

The Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Communication of the Brno University of Technology offers several subjects focused on mobile communication networks. For practical exercises the experimental mobile network has been building at our faculty. As we do not have OMC or NMC in our network and as the low level network management is quite complex we designed the software that is useful tool fo...

The vertical pattern of microwave radiation around BTS (Base Transceiver Station) antennae in Hashtgerd township

New environmental pollutants interfere with the environment and human life along with technology development. One of these pollutants is electromagnetic field. This study determines the vertical microwave radiation pattern of different types of Base Transceiver Station (BTS) antennae in the Hashtgerd city as the capital of Savojbolagh County, Alborz Province of Iran. The basic data including th...

Statistical analysis of electromagnetic radiation measurements in the vicinity of GSM/UMTS base station antenna masts.

As a result of dense installations of public mobile base station, additional electromagnetic radiation occurs in the living environment. In order to determine the level of radio-frequency radiation generated by base stations, extensive electromagnetic field strength measurements were carried out for 664 base station locations. Base station locations were classified into three categories: indoor...
