Assessment of RF radiation intensity on 35 Main Streets throughout Pennsylvania, USA during the fall of 2021

This survey data was gathered during the fall of 2021. RF intensity was measured using an RF detector on 4 or 5 contiguous main commercial street corners in 35 Pennsylvania towns and cities. The study was performed to see if towns with the 5G network were associated with a significant increase in ambient RF intensity as compared to towns with older generation networks. The data shows that RF intensity correlates with the location and position of 5G and 4G LTE antennas. Utility mounted antennas create more intense radiation than those mounted on building tops.

本调研数据集采集于2021年秋季。研究团队使用射频（Radio Frequency）探测器，在宾夕法尼亚州35个城镇的4至5处连续相邻的主要商业街角开展了射频强度测量。本研究旨在对比部署5G网络的城镇与采用前代移动通信网络的城镇，探究前者是否伴随环境射频强度的显著提升。数据表明，射频强度与5G及4G LTE天线的部署位置密切相关；安装于公共设施的天线所产生的辐射强度，高于安装在楼顶的天线。
