Abstract :
This work comprises a theoretical analysis, of the electromagnetic fields radiated by an ERB (cellular base station) in the city of Curitiba-Brazil. Computational simulations are made using the Friis transmission equation to calculate the radiated power density for every 3D point in the space. Simulated results are then compared to experimental measurements. Finally, these results are compared with the established limits of the ICNIRP standard. Values of power density obtained in this work (simulated and measured) are 50 dB below the limits presented by ICNIRP/ANATEL.
