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, 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:
Operators should not stand or walk in front of any antenna, nor should they allow anyone
else to do so.
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.
