Modelling a 5G mmWave Cell Site to evaluate RF exposure

This project will produce a useful simulation of a 5G mmWave Cell site. This simulation will allow the Industrial Partner to evaluate and optimize the operation of a typical 5G Cell site. The simulation will model a 5G phased array antenna connected to a Base Station which will be able to create focused beam radiation patterns that will track simulated users moving through the cell site. The effectiveness of user tracking with beams can thus be studied. The simulation will also allow an evaluation of the RF exposure of the users within the cell site. It is critically important to the Canadian Economy that 5G Communication Systems are quickly adopted because 5G will be a key enabler of the new connected economy.
