ABSTRACT: The widespread deployment of GSM mobile networks has led to a significant increase in the number of base station antennas, raising growing concerns about public exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF). This study aims to model and assess the electromagnetic radiation levels emitted by these antennas in a specific geographic area, using a combined modeling and measurement approach based on the metric method. The methodology relies on field data collection, mathematical modeling of the electromagnetic field, and analysis of measured exposure levels. The results are compared to current international standards, allowing for the assessment of installation compliance and the identification of potentially high-exposure areas. This study contributes to a better understanding of the impact of GSM antennas on public health and offers insights for optimizing the deployment of telecommunications infrastructure. The results, obtained through 2D and 3D measurements and simulations, demonstrate that the tools and approaches used are effective for analyzing electromagnetic exposure in complex environments.
