Numerical modeling of downlink electromagnetic wave exposure generated by 5G beamforming antennas
Comptes Rendus. Physique, Volume 22 (2021) no. S1, pp. 15-24.

In this paper different scenarios were compared for the numerical modeling of electromagnetic wave exposure to beamforming antennas. These scenarios range from the simplest (using an average radiation pattern) to an almost realistic one (MU-MIMO beamforming taking into account user locations) with intermediate. The results underline the influence of the environment around the antennas on the distribution of the electric field.
