Radio network planning and human exposure to electromagnetic fields

This paper analyzes the effect of a change in cell size and of transmit power control on the human exposure to electromagnetic fields. In a simplified network configuration the well accepted COST-Hata model is considered to assess the path loss. It is shown that increasing the base station density will not generally raise the exposure but can rather help to lower it significantly. The exposure due to base stations is hardly affected by allowing a transmit power reduction at the base station for individual links. In contrast to this, it is demonstrated that transmit power control at the mobile station is a helpful means to lower the exposure efficiently

HIGH ACCURACY RADAR CROSS SECTION MEASUREMENTS AT 3-18 GHz

A microwave network-analyzer based Radar Cross Section (RCS) measuring set-up is described with calibration method developed at the Institut für Höchstfrequenztechnik und Elektronik, Universität Karlsruhe. High-accuracy RCS data can be obtained by the system in the 3-18 GHz microwave band. A series of examples is given in the form of corner- reflector test-measurements
