4cmmW
mW
cm PD
P
D
where
P (mW) is the radiated power at the antenna, i.e. the max. rated repeater output power in
addition to the antenna gain minus the loss between the repeater and the antenna.
PD (mW/cm²) is the allowed Power Density limit acc. to 47 CFR 1.1310 (B) for general
population / uncontrolled exposures which is
o F (MHz) / 1500 for frequencies from 300MHz to 1500MHz
o 1 for frequencies from 1500MHz to 100,000MHz
