Safety Distance for Medical Equipments Based on 2G and 3G Mobile Systems


Abstract_In this study, two different mobile communication operators
provide services in Turkey have been choosen that each
operator has both 2G and 3G services. In this study,
electromagnetic interefernce distance to medical equipments
