RF Exposure to FCC Rules and Regulations Prt 1.1307, 1.1310, 2.1091, and 2.1093 1. FCCID G8JHHI03 2. The environment will be for the General Population / Uncontrolled Category for Mobile Devices per Part 2.1091 3. Antenna Information a. The antenna is a integral antenna with a numeric gain of 1.32 at 927.6 MHz 4. MPE Calculations Limit for environment is 0.618 mW / cm 2 Highest Output Power is 0.211 Watts The calculated power density is based on the following equation: 2 4xdx PxG S π = where S=Power density in mW/cm 2 , P=power in Watts, G= Numeric Gain, D=Distance in cm S=0.0554 mW/ cm 2 The maximum distance from the antenna at which MPE is met is based on the following equation: xSxPxGDπ4/= Based on the above formula, the maximum distance form the antenna at which the MPE is met will be 5.99 cm.
