Exposure to Non-Ionizing (RF) Radiation/Safe Working Distances
The following example shows how to calculate the safe working distance from a
transmitting antenna:
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, a maximum power density limit (w) of 1w/m² is to be applied
when calculating minimum safe working distances. 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.
