maintained between the antenna location and human beings is calculated according to this
formula:
]/[
][
][
2
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
RF exposure compliance may need to be addressed at the time of licensing, as required by the
responsible FCC Bureau(s), including antenna co-location requirements of 1.1307(b)(3).
2. Notice: For installations which have to comply with European EN50385 exposure compliance
requirements, the following Power Density limits/guidelines (mW/cm²) according to ICNIRP are
valid:
o 0.2 for frequencies from 10 MHz to 400 MHz
o F (MHz) / 2000 for frequencies from 400 MHz to 2 GHz
o 1 for frequencies from 2 GHz to 300 GHz
