SATEL-TR4+ RF Exposure Limits and Approximation of Safety Distances Applicable to Radio Modem Systems RF Exposure Limits on VHF/UHF Frequency Range On VHF/UHF frequency range the most significant mechanism of action of RF exposure is tissue warming. Other physiological mechanisms have not yet been proven by scientific research. Basic restrictions for RF exposure on VHF/UHF band are based on SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) limits. Basic restrictions are set in a way that a person is well protected against all verified adverse effects. ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation, www.icnirp.de) has 1998 set the following limits for SAR on VHF/UHF frequency range (actually covering 10 MHz – 10 GHz), based on 6-minute exposure average per 10 g tissue mass. However, local legislation and standards are to be respected always when preparing an RF exposure analysis. European Council has set the recommendation 1999/519/EC on the limitation of exposure of the general public to electromagnetic fields (0 Hz to 300 GHz). ICNIRP Basic Restrictions on VHF/UHF for SAR SAR, work-related exposure [W/kg] SAR, population exposure [W/kg] whole body average 0.4 0.08 head and torso 10 2 extremities 20 4 Due to the practical difficulties of measuring SAR inside a body, equivalent reference levels are used for RF power density or electric or magnetic field strength outside the body. The reference levels have been set so that the basic restrictions are not exceeded at any circumstances. ICNIRP has 1998 set the following reference limits for RF power density [W/m2] on VHF/UHF frequency range (10-400 MHz or 400-2000 MHz), based on 6-minute exposure average. ICNIRP Reference Values on VHF/UHF for RF Power Density Equivalent RF power density, work-related exposure [W/m 2 ] Equivalent RF power density, population exposure [W/m 2 ] 10 – 400 MHz 10 2 400 – 2000 MHz 2.5E-8 x f 0.5E-8 x f f is given in [Hz] Satel 2020, All rights reserved. 2 Approximation of Safety Distances in Order to Meet ICNIRP Reference Values for RF Exposure Electro-magnetic wave carries energy, which is expressed as power density S. It depends on electric and magnetic field strength according to their vector product. 푆 ⃗ =퐸 ⃗⃗ ×퐻 ⃗⃗⃗ (1) The direction of S vector gives the direction of propagation of power. The amplitude of S vector defines the power per unit area carried by the wave. In case of a sinusoidal TEM (Transverse Electro-Magnetic) wave, the amplitude of the power density S at a distance r from the radiator antenna can be calculated by the formula below 푆= 푃퐺 4 휋푟 2 (2) where: P = RF signal power fed to the antenna, [W], in this case 6-minute average G = isotropic gain of the antenna, [numeric] r = observation distance from the transmitter antenna, [m] π ≈ 3.14 The formula (2) is not valid in the near field conditions when r < 2D 2 /λ (Rayleigh’s criteria). D is the maximum dimension of an antenna and λ is the wavelength of the RF signal. In free space λ = c/f, where c = velocity of light and f = frequency. The signal power fed to the antenna can be determined by starting with transmitter output power (in this case 6-minute average value is used), and then subtracting insertion loss or adding gain of each RF component on the feeder line up to the antenna. The formula (2) we can solve for the distance r, in order to find out the minimum distance to meet the limit set for maximum RF power density. 푟= √ 푃퐺/4휋푆 (3) Calculation • Transmitter output power of radio modem is max 1.0 W • Transmit frequency = 403 MHz • Antenna gain = 0 dBi including all signal losses of cables, attenuators etc. The radio specification states that the effective radiated power from the antenna must not be more than 1 W. Antenna gain can be converted to a numeric gain with the formula below. 퐺= 10 퐺[푑퐵푖] 10 (4) Satel 2020, All rights reserved. 3 By substituting the above values to the formula (3) we can determine minimum safety distances acc. to ICNIRP reference values... ...for work-related Exposure a) 푟= √ 푃퐺/4휋푆 Work-related Exposure (400-2000 MHz) f/Hz P/W G[dBi] G S [W/m 2 ] r/m r/cm 403000000 1 0 1.0 10.075 0.089 8.9 4 2.5 10.075 0.141 14.1 6 4.0 10.075 0.177 17.7 8 6.3 10.075 0.223 22.3 10 10.0 10.075 0.281 28.1 12 15.8 10.075 0.354 35.4 ...and for population Exposure b) 푟= √ 푃퐺/4휋푆 Population Exposure (400-2000 MHz) f/Hz P/W G[dBi] G S [W/m 2 ] r/m r/cm 403000000 1 0 1.0 2.015 0.199 19.9 4 2.5 2.015 0.315 31.5 6 4.0 2.015 0.397 39.7 8 6.3 2.015 0.499 49.9 10 10.0 2.015 0.628 62.8 12 15.8 2.015 0.791 79.1 Satel 2020, All rights reserved. 4 CFR Part 47, §1.1310 In accordance to CFR Part 47, §1.1310 Frequency Range /MHz RF power density, occupational/controlled [mW/cm 2 ] RF power density, general population/uncontrolled [mW/cm 2 ] 300 – 1500 MHz f/300 f/1500 f = frequency in MHz Limits for power density according to table above: Frequency Range /MHz RF power density, occupational/controlled [W/m 2 ] RF power density, general population/uncontrolled [W/m 2 ] 300 – 1500 MHz 13.4 2.7 Calculations Occupational/Controlled f/Hz P/W G[dBi] G S [W/m 2 ] r/m r/cm 403000000 1 0 1.0 13.400 0.077 7.7 4 2.5 13.400 0.122 12.2 6 4.0 13.400 0.154 15.4 8 6.3 13.400 0.194 19.4 10 10.0 13.400 0.244 24.4 12 15.8 13.400 0.307 30.7 14 25.1 13.400 0.386 38.6 Population/Uncontrolled f/Hz P/W G[dBi] G S [W/m 2 ] r/m r/cm 403000000 1 0 1.0 2.700 0.172 17.2 4 2.5 2.700 0.272 27.2 6 4.0 2.700 0.343 34.3 8 6.3 2.700 0.431 43.1 10 10.0 2.700 0.543 54.3 12 15.8 2.700 0.683 68.3 Satel 2020, All rights reserved. 5 14 25.1 2.700 0.860 86.0 RSS-102 Issue 5 In accordance to RSS-102 Issue 5 Frequency Range /MHz RF power density, controlled environment [W/m 2 ] RF power density, general public/uncontrolled environment [W/m 2 ] 300 – 6000 MHz 0.6455*f 0.5 (1 0.02619*f …
