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. SARA U280 Module does not support power reduction for multiple time slots on the uplink. 2. Antenna separation from is ≥ 20cm. 3. Separation distance between co‐located transmitting antennas is 0cm. 4. Hypothetical Bluetooth radio is assumed to have an EIRP of 100mW. 5. Hypothetical WLAN radio is assumed to have an EIRP of 2000mW. 3.3.3 Test Protocol OP mode‐1 Maximum MPE Conducted Equivalent Value output conducted using Separation Duty Frequency power output power MPE Limit Max distance Band Mode Cycle (MHZ) (dBm) (mW) (mW/cm²) gain (cm) Verdict FDD 2 UMTS 100.0% 1907.6 24 251.19 1.0000 0.2746 20 Pass FDD 5 UMTS 100.0% 836.0 24 251.19 0.5573 0.3081 20 Pass * Conducted output power values bases on “Tune‐up” information provided by manufacturer. *The above table is to determine the MPE values using the maximum gain values obtained in section 3.3.4 of this document.
