Wireless networking technologies in recent years have witnessed important developments since the advantages benefit both data transmission service providers, and individuals or ordinary users. Ease of installation of a wireless network, led to the development of millions of Wi-Fi networks throughout the world. Nevertheless, Wi-Fi has certain drawbacks that inspired the implementation of a new technology called WiMAX. In 2003, the IEEE 802.16™ standard, also known as WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) was adopted, in order to meet the requirements for broadband wireless access. The purpose of this paper is to study how the electromagnetic fields generated by WiMAX base stations can be evaluated in terms of exposure.
