title: Analysis of the environmental factors for microcellular systems in urban areas.
abstract: In this study some general guidelines to be used for the installation of microcellular base stations in order to guarantee exposure levels have been identified. A detailed analysis of field strength levels around realistic urban microcellular antennae has been performed by means of experimental and theoretical evaluations as a function of antenna type and the characteristics of the surrounding environment.
