Abstract
Settling down an efficient and reliable procedure for the evaluation of the EMF exposure, from the Base Station Antennas, is important for mobile communications. In this work a calculation method of the exposure under radiofrequency, due to the presence of some antennas of the cellular Base Stations is introduced. The model of wave diffusion in free space, under ideal conditions gives ground for a convenient calculation of the exposure, even in cases of a considerable distance from the antenna, whose covering area is considerably larger, thus resulting in overestimation of the exposure. The calculation of the electrical intensity of the radiation is possible when the technical specifications of the given antenna (provided by the manufacturer) are known and by defining the position of the given point in relation to the antenna.
