1. Introduction

The EUT operates in the 2.4GHz ISM band. Due to the EUT (include antenna) at its
normal operation distance is at least 20 cm from the human body, the EUT was defined as a
Mobile Device.


The reason to do the MPE Evaluation is to avoid the RF hazard to human body. The
maximum output power and gain of the antenna were used to calculate the limited Power
density (S) at 20cm distance away from the product. The limit for Maximum Permissible
Exposure (MPE) specified in FCC 1.1310 and Safety Cord 6 are followed.


According to 1.1307 (b)(1), systems operating under the provisions of this section shall be
operated in a manner that ensure that the public is not exposed to radio    frequency energy
level in excess of the Commission’s guideline.



2. RF Exposure Limit

For FCC:
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).

* Power density limit is applicable at frequencies greater than 100 MHz.
Notes: 1. Frequency, f, is in MHz.
       2. A power density of 10W/m2 is equivalent to 1 mW/cm2.
       3. A magnetic field strength of 1 A/m corresponds to 1.257 microtesla (μT) or 12.57
          milligauss (mG).


3. RF Exposure calculations

From §FCC 1.1310 table 1 and §Safety Code 6 table 5, the maximum permissible RF
exposure for an uncontrolled environment is 1mW/(cm2) (or 10 W/m2)*
      * 10 W/m2 = 1mW/ (cm2)
Power density (S) is calculated by the following formula:

S = (P * G)/4πR2

where, S = Power density (mW/cm2)
       P = Output power to antenna (mW)
       R = Distance between radiating structure and observation point (cm)
       G = Gain of antenna in numeric
       π = 3.1416

Example:
        Assume a mobile device operates at 2412MHz and its maximum output power is
50mW, and the maximum gain of antenna is 1 (numeric) /0dBi.

then the power density (S) = (50 * 1)/4*π*202 = 0.00995 (mW/cm2) (or = 0.0995 W/m2)

                                                                     Report No.: EME-061171/02

The Notice in Installation Manual has been stated as below:
While installing and operating this transmitter, the radio frequency exposure limit of 1mW/
(cm2) may be exceeded at distances close to the transmitter. therefore, the user must maintain
a minimum distance of 20 cm from the device at all time.
