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 is 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

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).

                                                                        Page 5 of 5

3. RF Exposure calculations

From §FCC 1.1310 table 1, the maximum permissible RF exposure for an
uncontrolled environment is 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)

The Notice in Installation Manual has been stated as below:
While installing and operating this transmitter, the radio frequency exposure limit of
1mW/(cm*cm) 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.
