3.3 RF Exposure Evaluation for multiple transmitters in co-location Standards OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 August 1997 RSS-102 Issue 5 – March 2015 3.3.1 Co-Location Considerations The calculation below is used to consider situations in which simultaneous exposure to fields of different frequencies occur. 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. 6. Where the maximum allowable gain permitted with respect to EIRP is lower than the maximum allowable gain for relative exposure, the lower gain respecting the EIRP limit shall be used to make the calculation. 3.3.3 Test Protocol The below table is to determine the MPE values using the maximum gain values obtained in below.
