ABSTRACT

The attainable data through research work show concentrations of electric field energy or hot spots located in and around vehicles with Radiofrequency (RF) transmitters operating at very high frequency and lower bands. The main factors in determining the RF emission from a mobile antenna is its location on the vehicle and the size and shape of the vehicle. The fast growth of the cellular communication industry has resulted in the installation of large number of base transceiver stations (BTS), which are mounted on freestanding towers, on rooftops, or on the sides of buildings. Such transmitters represent the core of cells in the cellular system. The installation of BTS antennas frequently raises concerns about their human health impacts and safety, mostly for people who live in the vicinity of these sites. Two major Radio frequency interference factors affect medical equipment are coupling between a source of interference and medical equipment and modulation imposed on fields from each source.
