The European Union (EU) Horizon Europe project NextGEM provides a framework for generating health-relevant scientific knowledge and data on new exposure scenarios to Radio-Frequency Electromagnetic Fields (RF-EMFs) and developing and validating tools for evidence-based risk assessment. Practical guidelines …

With this contribution, the results of the measurement campaign performed with a synchronously distributed antenna array testbed operating at the center frequency of 3.686 GHz are presented. For the first time, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, the electric field distribution indu ced by coherent …

The built environment requires energy-flexible buildings to reduce energy peak loads and to maximize the use of (decentralized) renewable energy sources. The challenge is to arrive at smart control strategies that respond to the increasing variations in both the energy demand as well as the variable …

Door klimaatverandering moet men anders gaan leven en produceren. De overheid streeft ernaar om in 2050 volledig circulair te bouwen. Dit onderzoek richt zich op een natuurlijk alternatief voor kunststof geotextiel bij oeverwerken langs kleinschalige watergangen/ boezemwateren. Geotextielis een kunststof …

The 5th generation of mobile communications is designed to employ both FR1 and FR2 bands throughout the world. The higher frequency bands (i.e., FR2 n257 26.50 - 29.50 GHz) are posing several challenges to operators and national telecom agencies for performing electromagnetic fields (EMF) measurements. …

This research paper addresses the research aim of determining the most effective and sustainable method for mango butter extraction using a Soxhlet extraction method. The project focuses on meeting the goals of the start-up “Natural Waste”, and utilizing discarded mango seeds from a Dutch juice processing …

A low-cost sensornode is introduced to monitor the 5G EMF exposure in the Netherlands for the four FR1 frequency bands. The sensornode is validated with in-lab measurements both with CW signals as for QAM signals and perform for both cases and for all frequency bands an error less than 1 dB for a dynamic …

Aanleiding: Vraagstukken waar ik graag aan mee wil ontwikkelen zijn het toekomstbestendig maken en leefbaar hou den van stedelijke gebieden. Klimaatadaptatie is daarbij een belangrijk onderwerp. Een groot deel van Nederland is al bebouwd en in de bestande wijken is steeds vaker overlast door de gevolgen …

The evolution of emerging technologies that use Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Field (RF-EMF) has increased the interest of the scientific community and society regarding the possible adverse effects on human health and the environment. This article provides NextGEM’s vision to assure safety for EU …
