User Input
RF power delivered to the antenna = Watts
Antenna gain (referenced to isotropic antenna) = dBi
Distance from the center of radiation = Feet
Calculation steps:
1. [P] RF power input. Convert watts to milliwatts = Watts *
1000
2. [G] Antenna gain dBi. Convert to numeric gain = Antilog
(dBi/10)
3. [EIRP] Multiply P * G
4. [R] Convert centimeters to feet = Centimeters * .0328
5. Square R
6. Multiply R² * 4π
7. [S] Divide (R² * 4π) into EIRP
S = Power Density in milliwatts per square centimeters. Note:
At frequencies above 1500 MHz, S must not be greater than 1.

The examples shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 are typical graphs
for an MRC STRATA Transmitter and show the permissible
exposure distance for various antennas. Graphs and data will
vary, based on the actual transmitter, output power, frequency,
and antenna utilized. One plot provides the permissible output
of the transmitter for digital modulation, and the other plot for
analog modulation.
MRC, in accordance with the requirements set forth by the FCC,
provides this information as a guide to the user. It is assumed
that the users of this equipment are licensed and qualified to
operate the equipment per the guidelines and recommendations
contained within the product user guides and in accordance with
any FCC rules that may apply.
