Radiofrequency (RF) waves have long been used for different types of information exchange via the air waves--wireless Morse code, radio, television, and wireless telephone (i.e., construction and operation of telephones or telephone systems). Increasingly larger numbers of people rely on mobile telephone technology, and health concerns about the associated RF exposure have been raised, particul...

03/12/1027 Introduction Zero-IF receivers are not new; they have been around for some time and are prominently used in cell phone handsets. However their use in high performance wireless base stations has had limited success. This is due primarily to their limited dynamic range and that they are less well understood. A new wide bandwidth zero-IF IQ demodulator helps relieve the dynamic range an...

Introduction: The continuous rapid growth of the telecommunications industry and common application of cell phones have raised debates on the human health risks associated with exposure to radio frequency fields due to these phones or their base stations and other sources such as radar, radio/television waves, and industrial and medical applications. This study aimed to invest...

OBJECTIVES The aim of our study was to assess the health conditions and subjective symptoms of the inhabitants living in the base stations vicinity and to analyse the relationship between the complaints and level of exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF). MATERIALS AND METHODS Our study was performed in housing estates located in five regions of Łódź. The electric field measurements were pe...

OBJECTIVES We performed a re-analysis of the data from Navarro et al (2003) in which health symptoms related to microwave exposure from mobile phone base stations (BSs) were explored, including data obtained in a retrospective inquiry about fear of exposure from BSs. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING La Ñora (Murcia), Spain. PARTICIPANTS Participants with known illness in 2003 were su...

BACKGROUND The erection of mobile telephone base stations in inhabited areas has raised concerns about possible health effects caused by emitted microwaves. METHODS In a cross-sectional study of randomly selected inhabitants living in urban and rural areas for more than one year near to 10 selected base stations, 365 subjects were investigated. Several cognitive tests were performed, and well...

Introduction: The rapid development of wireless telecommunication technologies over the past decades, has led to significant changes in the exposure of the general public to electromagnetic fields. Nowadays, people are continuously exposed to different sources of electromagnetic fields such as mobile phones, mobile base stations, cordless phones, Wi-Fi routers, and power lines. Therefore, th...
