APPENDIX A:         RF EXPOSURE CALCULATIONS FOR HIGH GAIN ANTENNAS

From FCC 1.1310 table 1A, the maximum permissible RF exposure for an uncontrolled environment is 1mW/cm2.
The Electric field generated for a 1mW/cm2 exposure (S) is calculated as follows:

S = E2/Z
                    where:
                    S = Power density
                    E = Electric field
                    Z = Impedance.

E = √S x Z

1mW/cm2= 10 W/m2

The impedance of free space is 337 ohms, where E and H fields are perpendicular.

Thus:

           E = √10 x 377 = 61.4 V/m which is equivalent to 1mW/cm2

Using the relationship between Electric field E, Power in watts P, and distance in meters d, the corresponding
Antenna numeric gain G and the transmitter output power and solving for d,

               d = √ Peak x 30 x G
                             E

Example using the Stub Omni-directional antenna

1.   The Numeric gain G of antenna with a gain specified in dB is determined by:

                G = Log –1 (dB gain/10)

                G = Log –1 0.22 = 1.66


The table below identifies the distances where the 1mW/cm2 exposure limits may be exceeded during continuous
transmission using the external antenna
