                       RF Exposure Measurement
1. Introduction

2.4 GHz frequency band is regarded specially as a dangerous band for its heating
harmfulness to the human body. That’s why microwave oven is operating in this
frequency band. The manufacturer whose product is working in this frequency band is
obligatory to prove the harmfulness of his product.
In this document, we try to prove the safety of radiation harmfulness to the human body
for our product. The limit for Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) specified in FCC
1.1310 is followed. The Gain of the antenna used in this product is measured in a Fully
Anechoic Chamber (FAC) calibrated for antenna measurement in ADT, and also the
maximum total power input to the antenna is measured. Through the Friis transmission
formula and the maximum gain of the antenna, we can calculate the distance, away from
the product, where the limit of MPE is reached.
Although the Friis transmission formula is a far field assumption, the calculated result of
that is an over-prediction for near field power density. We will take that as the worst case
to specify the safety range.


2. RF Exposure Limit

According to FCC 1.1310: The criteria listed in the following table shall be used to
evaluate the environmental impact of human exposure to radio-frequency (RF) radiation
as specified in 1.1307(b)

F = Frequency in MHz


ADT No: 910508R01                            2


3. Friis Formula


Friis transmission formula : Pd = (Pout*G) / (4*pi*r2)


where
Pd = power density in mW/cm2
Pout = output power to antenna in mW
G = gain of antenna in linear scale
Pi = 3.1416
R = distance between observation point and center of the radiator in cm


Pd is the limit of MPE, 1 mW/cm2. If we know the maximum Gain of the antenna and the
total power input to the antenna, through the calculation, we will know the distance r
where the MPE limit is reached.

4 EUT Operating condition
The software provided by Manufacturer enabled the EUT to transmit and receive data at
lowest, middle and highest channel individually.



5 Climate Condition
The temperature and related humidity: 20 deg. C and 63 % RH


6. Classification

This device is not fixed inside the host equipment, it is connected with host through wire.
So it is easy to be re-located in the place where at least 20 cm far away from the body of
the user. Warning statement to the user for keeping at least 20cm or more separation
distance with the antenna should be included in users manual. So, this device is
classified as Mobile Device.

The minimum allowable distance is very close to the enclosure of the antenna. So, the
user has no need to worry about the harmfulness of radiation. But it is recommended to
always keep, at least, 20 cm separation distance with the antenna.
