Do the differences between cell phones, PCS phones, analog phones, digital phones and other types of mobile phones matter when evaluating the potential impacts of base station antennas on human health?
No. There are many technical differences between different types of "mobile" phones; but for evaluation of possible health hazards, the only distinction that matters is that they operate at slightly different frequencies. The RF energy from some base stations (e.g., those for the older 800 MHz mobile phones used in the U.S.) may be absorbed by humans somewhat more than the RF energy from other types of base stations (e.g., those for the 1800-2000 MHz "PCS" phones used in the U.S.). However, once the energy is absorbed the effects are the same.
