Abstract: The 5th generation(5G) wireless telecommunication systems aimed to support high- speed mobile internet access, which would benefit a variety of new applications including the Internet of Things, connected vehicles, and industrial automation. 5G would start a technology revolution. As one of the key technologies of 5G, millimeter wave has captured close attention to the public. Its biological effects to human beings, in particular, has raised concern. This paper presented the current regulatory requirements and introduced the general measurement methods. Also, there would be a brief description of the instrumentation for measuring human exposure to millimeter wave and some issues emerging from an actual measurement case have been discussed in the end.

Key words: 5G, millimeter wave, RF exposure measurement, power density
