RF Exposure to FCC Rules and Regulations Prt 1.1307, 1.1310, 2.1091, and 2.1093 1. FCCID G8JHHI04 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 451.35 MHz 4. MPE Calculations Limit for environment is 0.301 mW / cm 2 Highest Output Power is 0.194 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 Based on 20 cm seperation S=0.051 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 8.23 cm.
