The calculation is performed by the sum of each relative exposure for each equipment according to the following criteria. Where: Seq is the power density of the electromagnetic field at a given distance by a specific transmitter and a defined frequency. Slin is the MPE limit for the frequency being evaluated. 3.3.2 Assumptions 1. Primary transmitter does not support power reduction for multiple time slots on the uplink. 2. Antenna separation from module to human body is ≥ 20cm. 3. Separation distance between co‐located transmitting antennas is 0cm. 4. Hypothetical Bluetooth radio is assumed to have an output power of 9.5dBm and an antenna gain of 4dBi. 5. Hypothetical WLAN radio is assumed to have an output power of 19dBm and an antenna gain of 5dBi. 3.3.3 Test Protocol The below table is to determine the MPE values using the maximum gain values obtained in section 3.3.4 of this document.
