ACTE: a new project analyzing the exposure of very young children to LTE wireless communication systems

Abstract : This paper introduces a new project that has been launched in January 2013. The purpose of the ACTE project is to analyze the exposure of new-born and very young children to RF EMF from LTE wireless systems. The proposed objectives of the ACTE project are to develop new RF LTE source models and very young child models based on Magnetic Resonance Images that can be used in numerical dosimetry. These models are then used in order to assess the exposure of very young children in different usage configurations and analyze the influence of parameters such as posture, frequency and tissue dielectric properties.
