Recommended separation distances between
portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the YF-100
The YF-100 is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled.
The customer or the user of the YF-100 can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum
distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the YF-100 as recommended
below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.

150 KHz to 80 MHz
80 MHz to 800 MHz
800 MHz to 2.5 GHz
0.01 0.12 0.12 0.23
0.1 0.38 0.38 0.73

10 3.8 3.8 7.3
100 12 12 23
For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance d in
metres (m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maximum
output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.
NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and
reflection from structures, objects and people.
