Safety analysis of half wave oscillator structure in underground 5G radiation field
Abstract
GB 3836.1-2021 Explosive atmospheres - Part 1: Equipment-General requirements stipulates that the RF threshold power of RF equipment in explosive environments shall not exceed 6 W. This regulation is derived from EU standards and lacks experimental verification, seriously restricting the application of 5G technology in mines. In order to reassess the safety of electromagnetic wave energy radiated by 5G communication equipment in mines, it is analyzed that the form of discharge generated by metal structures coupling electromagnetic waves should be low voltage breaking circuit arc discharge. The discharge energy generated by metal structures coupling electromagnetic waves is analyzed. The half wave oscillator structure that is most easily coupling with electromagnetic waves is selected as the research object. Through comparison, it is found that the discharge energy generated by the equivalent DC discharge circuit equivalent half wave oscillator is greater than that generated by the equivalent high-frequency discharge circuit. Therefore, the analysis of the safety of metal structure coupling electromagnetic wave discharge can be transformed into the analysis of the safety of the equivalent DC discharge circuit of equivalent half wave oscillator antenna of the metal structure. The safety judgment principle of intrinsically safe DC circuit is selected to judge the safety of the equivalent DC discharge circuit of equivalent half wave oscillator . By calculating the discharge power and energy, it is concluded that 5G RF equipment will not ignite explosive gas when its radiated power is not greater than 10.5 W. Therefore, the safe radiated power of RF base station of 5G communication system can be increased to 10.5 W.
