Abstract

This study summarizes the preliminary results of the RF EMF exposure levels monitoring using MVG EME Spy 200 personal exposimeter in 67 stations and moving trains of Athens metro network in Greece. Measurements have been conducted at 20 predefined frequency bands, providing data about the 5G FR1 (5th Generation Frequency Range 1) contribution to the total exposure level. Conclusions have been derived considering the indoor small cell antenna installation sites at selected metro stations, the exposure differences at each metro line between stations and moving train as well as the over ground and underground parts of each line.
