Abstract
A methodology for analyzing and assessing the average electromagnetic background levels in various configurations of a typical Dense urban-eMBB 5G scenario in the FR1 and FR2 frequency ranges is proposed, taking into account the contribution of subscriber terminal radiations to the average levels of generated radio frequency electromagnetic background. The necessary increase in the spectral efficiency of radio channels is analyzed to ensure safe implementation of this scenario for the population, associated with the use of MIMO technology and base station antennas that provide adaptive formation of narrow beams in the direction of the subscriber terminals being served.
