5G network deployment has recently been questioned due to concerns on the electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure that radio base stations produce on users. However: what is the EMF exposure generated by a 5G smartphone? Is it comparable to the one generated by a 5G base station?

This webinar answers these questions, presenting a novel spectrum analyzer-based method to assess both smartphone and base station exposure contributions in commercial 5G deployments. Outdoor and indoor measurement results obtained with a handheld Spectrum Analyzer will be presented, revealing how smartphone exposure dominates over the base station one.
