Abstract

Human exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic fields should not exceed the exposure limits set by the relevant regulatory guidelines. In this paper, we provide approaches to determine upper bounds of maximum exposure from multiple antennas. When the total transmitted power is fixed, the maximum exposure can be determined by an eigenvalue decomposition. If an individual antenna has additional power constraint, the exposure maximization problem can be relaxed to a semidefinite program. Two case studies are given to demonstrate the approaches to the maximum exposure of cellular equipment using multiple antennas. The methods and the obtained results provide valuable insights into RF compliance procedures of cellular equipment.
