Abstract
In this study, to assess the electromagnetic radiation from the uplink of wireless communication, we utilized NEMO Handy from Keysight Technologies to investigate the transmit (TX) power of Android phones during Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). This paper investigated TX power of mobile phone running WhatsApp VoIP. In the Great Paris region, 378 locations are chosen to conduct measurements. Without any limitation on the mobile phone technology selection, measurements in UMTS, LTE and NR-NSA are collected. Statistical results of measurements conducted at 378 locations in the Greater Paris area are presented, a comparison of TX powers using a 5G-disabled and 5G-enabled mobile phone is given. To compare TX powers of different technologies average TX power of LTE and NR is calculated based on duty cycle. The results indicate that 5G NR non standalone (NSA) has lower TX power compared to previous technologies.
