Abstract: |
In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in millimeterwave (mm-wave) technologies operating at frequencies between 10 and 300 GHz. mm-wave communication provides higher transfer rates that will be employed in the next-generation wireless networks. However, mm-wave device exposure compliance assessment is challenging due to a reduced wavelength and an increased number of antennas. In this article, we discuss physical features of future mmwave communication networks and describe the requirements for proper exposure compliance assessment. Leading technologies that can be prospectively used for mm-wave exposure compliance are surveyed. Their pros and cons with respect to operating frequency, availability, sensitivity, and speed are discussed. © 2017 IEEE. |
