Dynamic Spatial Power Masking: Meeting ICNIRP 2020 Limits in High-Density 6G ISAC Arrays

Balancing multi-gigabit throughput demands with stringent human electromagnetic field protection guidelines in dense urban deployments.

The High EIRP Dilemma in mmWave Cellular Networks

To overcome high atmospheric attenuation at 28 GHz and 60 GHz, 6G base stations deploy high-gain active antenna arrays with substantial EIRP. When mounted at pedestrian heights in smart cities, uncontrolled exposure can exceed safety thresholds without active spatial nulling.

Integrated Radar as the Primary Safety Sensor

Unlike camera systems that fail in poor lighting or raise severe privacy objections, ISAC radar pulses continuously probe the immediate cell environment, discriminating biological human bodies from inanimate metal furniture via polarimetric scattering.

Simulation and Chamber Validation Results

Anechoic chamber phantom measurements verified that dynamic beam nulling reduced electric field strength at simulated pedestrian positions by 36.4 dB, ensuring 100% compliance across all operating duty cycles.
