      7.3.       MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE


LIMITS

§15.247 (b) (5) Systems operating under the provisions of this section shall be operated in a manner that
ensures that the public is not exposed to radio frequency energy levels in excess of the Commission's
guidelines. See §1.1307(b)(1) of this chapter.


CALCULATIONS

Given
         E = √ (30 * P * G) / d
and
         S = E ^ 2 / 3770
where
         E = Field Strength in Volts / meter
         P = Power in Watts
         G = Numeric antenna gain
         d = distance in meters
         S = Power Density in milliwatts / square centimeter

Combining equations and rearranging the terms to express the distance as a function of the remaining
variables yields:
        d = √ ((30 * P * G) / (3770 * S))

Changing to units of mW and cm, using:
       P (mW) = P (W) / 1000 and
       d (cm) =100 * d (m)
yields
       d = 100 * √ ((30 * (P / 1000) * G) / (3770 * S))
       d = 0.282 * √ (P * G / S)
where
       d = distance in cm
       P = Power in mW
       G = Numeric antenna gain
       S = Power Density in mW / cm^2

REPORT NO: 03U2286-2                                                          DATE: OCTOBER 30, 2003
EUT: 802.11a/g PCI adapter                                                         FCC ID: LDK102051

Substituting the logarithmic form of power and gain using:
        P (mW) = 10 ^ (P (dBm) / 10) and
        G (numeric) = 10 ^ (G (dBi) / 10)
yields
        d = 0.282 * 10 ^ ((P + G) / 20) / √ S                     Equation (1)
where
        d = MPE distance in cm
        P = Power in dBm
        G = Antenna Gain in dBi
        S = Power Density Limit in mW / cm^2

Equation (1) and the measured peak power is used to calculate the MPE distance.


LIMITS

S = 1.0 mW / cm^2 from 1.1310 Table 1


RESULTS

No non-compliance noted:

Power Density Limit Output Power Antenna Gain MPE Distance
   (mW/cm^2)           (dBm)         (dBi)       (cm)
       1.0              15.05         0.93       1.78



NOTE: For mobile or fixed location transmitters, the minimum separation distance is 20 cm, even if
calculations indicate that the MPE distance would be less.
