Abstract :
As cellular networks spread more and more, there is arising challenges in human societies about the effect of their electromagnetic fields and waves on healthy living. Regarding these worries, several organizations have arranged studies on their effects. ITU as worldwide leader on telecommunications has released K.52 Recommendation to address the problem. In this paper, K.52 has been checked for typical GSM installations as a dominant technology in cellular networks. As a result of the work, a set of simulation programs has been prepared and using them, compliance zones for several scenarios have been extracted and some correlation between them has been observed. As a fingertip result, we can claim that almost all of these installations are compatible with K.52.
