1.3.2   Technical Description

        The Equipment under test was a Nokia Solutions and Networks Flexi Base Station Products
        (698-960 MHz and 1710-2690MHz). A full technical description can be found in the
        manufacturer’s documentation.

        All reported calculations were carried out on the relevant information supplied for the Nokia Flexi
        Base Station Products (698-960 MHz and 1710-2690MHz) to demonstrate compliance with the
        applied test specification(s) the sample assessed was found to comply with the requirements of
        the applied rules.


1.4     SUMMARY


        The RF Exposure Compliance Boundary assessment is based upon the following criteria:

        The Nokia Flexi Base Station Products (698-960 MHz and 1710-2690MHz) operate in the
        frequency range 698-960 MHz and 1710-2690MHz.

2.1     RATIONALE FOR ASSESSMENT OF THE RF EXPOSURE COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY


        The aim of the assessment report is to evaluate the compliance boundary for a set of given input
        power(s) according to the basic restrictions (directly or indirectly via compliance with reference
        levels) related to human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields.
        The chosen assessment method to establish the compliance boundary in the far-field region is
        the reference method as defined in EN50383:2002 Clause 5.2; E-field or H-field calculation. The
        method of calculation used is defined in EN50383:2002; Clause 8.2.2, 8.2.3 and 8.2.4.
        The calculated values have been compared with limits provided in the ICNIRP guidelines.
        Calculations can be made in three separate regions, based on distance from the antenna. These
        are called:

        - far-field region,
        - radiating near-field region,
        - reactive near-field region.
        The theory that defines these regions is given in EN50383:2002 Annex A.

        Far-field region

        As shown in EN50383 Annex A, the far-field calculations are accurate when the distance, r, from
        an antenna of length D to a point of investigation is greater than

              2D 2
        r 
                  
        Where, r is the distance from the antenna to the point of investigation.

        Radiating near-field region

        The radiating near-field region of an antenna of length D as shown in EN50383 Annex A, this
        region is defined by

                     2D 2
             r 
         4             
        Reactive near-field region

        The reactive near-field region of an antenna as shown in EN50383 Annex A, this region is
        defined by

              
        r
              4
        Where, r is the distance from the antenna to the point of investigation.
        Recommend λ/4 as the boundary between the radiated near-field and reactive near-field for RF
        Exposure Compliance Boundary compliance assessment.
