Exposure Assessment Procedures in Presence of Wideband Digital Wireless Networks

The article analyses the applicability of traditional methods, as well as recently proposed techniques, to the exposure assess- ment of electromagnetic field generated by wireless transmitters. As is well known, a correct measurement of the electromag- netic field is conditioned by the complexity of the signal, which requires dedicated instruments or specifically developed extrapolation techniques. Nevertheless, it is also influenced by the typology of the deployment of the transmitting and receiv- ing stations, which varies from network to network. These aspects have been intensively analysed in the literature and several cases of study are available for review. The present article collects the most recent analyses and discusses their applicability to different scenarios, typical of the main wireless networking applications: broadcasting services, mobile cellular networks and data access provisioning infrastructures
