RF Exposure Considerations for Itron 900 MHz FHSS Radio Module

The following radio modules will be used in product that will result in co-location of the antennas for the
modules:

RFx CALCULATION FOR MULTIPLE CO-LOCATED TX SOURCES

The following relationships between power density (S), distance from antenna (d meters), transmitter field
strength ( E v/m), transmitter power (P, watts) and antenna gain (G, numeric) are used to determine MPE
for each transmitter:

 E2/3770 = S, mW/cm2
 E, V/m = (Pwatts*Ggain*30).5/d, meters
 MPE d,m = ((Pwatts*G*30)/3770*S))0.5
 Pwatts*Ggain = 10(PdBm-30+GdBi)/10)
 S@dist2 = S@dist1*(dist1/dist2)2

Per OET 65, the allowed cumulative exposure limit at a given point from three transmitters operating at
different frequencies is

Sf1/Sf1limit + Sf2/Sf2limit + Sf3/Sf3limit < 1, where

Sf1 = power density at a given point for transmitter operating at F1 MHz
Sf2 = power density at a given point for transmitter operating at F2 MHz
Sf3 = power density at a given point for transmitter operating at F3 MHz

Sf1limit = power density limit at frequency F1 (from Table 1 in Appendix A of OET 65)
Sf2limit = power density limit at frequency F2 (from Table 1 in Appendix A of OET 65)
Sf3limit = power density limit at frequency F3 (from Table 1 in Appendix A of OET 65)

At a distance of 56.4 cm, the weighted cumulative RF exposure is 99.9% of the allowed maximum.
The MPE distance that will be reported in final product manuals that use the above listed combination of
radios and maximum antenna gains will be 57 cm.

The spreadsheet with the calculations is attached.
