Jan 1, 2025
This exposure-assessment study uses FDTD simulations to evaluate auto-induced downlink RF-EMF exposure at 3.5 GHz when downlink energy is focused toward user equipment near the head. Exposure varied substantially by device position (ear, eyes, nose) and by the precoding technique used. The authors report that the…

Jan 1, 2012
This study investigates instrumentation and procedures to assess electromagnetic exposure from compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) by measuring both incident and induced fields in the 10 kHz–1 MHz range. For some CFLs, incident electric fields exceeded ICNIRP reference levels at close distances, but induced fields were…
