Electric field characteristics of shared towers and electric field distribution characteristics near 5G base stations

Abstract

With the continuous promotion of domestic 4G network construction and the gradual arrival of 5G networks, the requirements of mobile communication networks on capacity and coverage are constantly improving, and the number of communication base stations is also increasing. Therefore, the “shared tower” with the function of a communication base station added to the existing high-voltage transmission line tower is becoming a new resource-sharing mode. There is no systematic study on the installation location of the shared tower base station on the high-voltage tower, which is not conducive to the application and promotion of “shared tower”. In this paper, the finite element simulation model of the tower installed with the base station is built. The electric field distribution near the tower with the base station, the electric field distribution characteristics under different base station installation quantities and different positions of the base station are mainly studied, and the electric field distribution near the surface of the base station is obtained. Combined with the electrical safety distance limit of communication equipment and iron tower, the influence of the installation location and quantity of the base station on the electric field near the base station is evaluated.
