Some Notes on the Impact of the use of Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS) on Maximum-Power Extrapolation techniques for Human Exposure Assessment to Electromagnetic Fields

Abstract

The aim of this contribution is to investigate the impact of use of Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS) on Maximum-Power Extrapolation (MPE) techniques adopted for 4G and 5G signals. The structure of the frame is analyzed to obtain general observations on the effect of DSS frame structure on MPE techniques. The observations have been checked on a signal generated by a base station and transferred to the measurement instruments through an Air Interface ADapter (AIAD) as well as ‘on air’ signals. The results show that both the 4G MPE procedure and the 5G MPE procedures can be used for MPE of DSS signals.
