Installation notes

For amateur mobile transceiver installations it is recommended that the forwards clearance in front of the anten-
na array is calculated relative to the EIRP (Effective Isotropic Radiated Power). The clearance height below the
antenna array can be determined in most cases from the RF power at the antenna input terminals.
As different exposure limits have been recommended for different frequencies, a relative table shows a guideline
for installation considerations.
Below 30 MHz, the recommended limits are specified in terms of V/m or A/m fields as they are likely to fall
within the near-field region. Similarly, the antennae may be physically short in terms of electrical length and that
the installation will require some antenna matching device which can create local, high intensity magnetic fields.
Analysis of such MF installations is best considered in association with published guidance notes such as the
FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 and its annexes relative to amateur transmitter installations. The EC recom-
mended limits are almost identical to the FCC specified ‚uncontrolled' limits and tables exist that show pre-calcu-
lated safe distances for different antenna types for different frequency bands. Further information can be found at

Typical amateur radio installation
Exposure distance assumes that the predominant radiation pattern is forwards and that radiation vertically down-
wards is at unity gain (sidelobe suppression is equal to main lobe gain). This is true of almost every gain antenna
today. Exposed persons are assumed to be beneath the antenne array and have a typical height to 1.8 m.
The figures assume the worst case emission of constant carrier.
For the bands 10 MHz and higher the following power density limites have been recommended.
10 -400 MHz 2 W/sq m
435 MHz 2.2 W/sq m
