1.4. Health & Safety
Exposure to Non-Ionizing (RF) Radiation/Safe Working Distances
The safe working distance from a transmitting antenna may be calculated from
the relationship:
D =
in which D = safe working distance (meters)
PT = transmitter or combiner power output (watts)
GR = antenna gain ratio = anti log (gain dBi ÷10)
w = Maximum allowed power density (watts/square meter)
The RF power density value is determined by reference to safety guidelines for
exposure of the human body to non-ionizing radiation. It is important to note
that the guidelines adopted differ throughout the world and are from time-to-
time re-issued with revised guidelines. For Vislink use, when calculating
minimum safe working distances, apply a maximum power density limit (w) of
1w/m². Appendix A refers.
WARNING: Any transmitting equipment, radiating power at frequencies of 100
kHz and higher, has the potential to produce thermal and athermal
effects upon the human body.
To be safe:
a. Operators should not stand or walk in front of any antenna, nor should they allow
anyone else to do so.
b. Operators should not operate any RF transmitter or power amplifier with any of
its covers removed, nor should they allow anyone else to do so.
