Abstract

Communication technologies are evolving to meet the ever-increasing demand for fast transmission speeds and large capacity. However, the introduction of new mobile networks, such as 5G, should be accompanied by changes in corresponding frequency and modulation techniques to enable the commercialization of its services. Hence, investigating the human health effects of electromagnetic exposures used in these new communication systems is crucial. Since in vitro electromagnetic experiments can provide essential information on important mechanisms of exposure effects, this article presents in vitro exposure systems necessary for reliable experiments. Moreover, the fundamental requirements for system implementation and the features of various systems are discussed.
