Single or Multi-Band Exposure Analysis

Select the Multi-Band Group you wish to generate an RF Exposure Report. Exposure limits for each U.S. Amateur Radio Band within the selected multi-band group's frequency range are automatically generated for the report. Next, select the band's Frequency Position to use in computing exposure limits. By default, the Highest frequency value within each band is used in computing exposure limits. Finally, if you wish to analyze only a single frequency, and not an entire set of frequencies in a multi-band group, simply enter the desired frequency (MHz) into the Single Frequency Exposure Analysis form field. All prior Band Plan and Frequency Position entries will be ignored and a single frequency exposure report will be generated.

Transmission Specifications

Transmission Specifications fields include: Effective Power, Mode Duty Factor, as well as Transmit and Receive times. Each field is crucial for accurate RF exposure calculations. Unfortunately, the definition and meaning of these fields are often misunderstood by many, leading to incorrect exposure analyses when completed with invalid values and assumptions. Take your time to complete each field accurately. If you're unsure about any field's purpose or meaning, simply click the information icon next to it for a detailed explanation. Your careful and precise input will significantly improve the accuracy of your RF exposure assessment.
