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 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 The below table is to determine the MPE values using the maximum gain values obtained in section 3.3.4 of this document.
