worksheet icon RF Exposure Report Calculation Worksheet Instructions
The RF Exposure Report Calculation Worksheet is used to define an antenna's operating parameters for generating an RF exposure report. The data entry process is similar to the legacy RF exposure calculators used by amateur radio operators for many years, with some notable updates and enhancements.

However, there are some data entry differences between RFExposure and the legacy calculators that you should to be aware of:
  • To define various report titles and labels, there is a short worksheet section called Report Personalization where you define a description of the report, as well as define your name, call sign, and email address which are printed on the cover page.

  • RF Exposure Report features the ability to compute either "Single Frequency" or "Multi-Band Group" exposure analyses. If you choose the "Single Band" option, the calculator works virtually identical to legacy RF exposure calculators. However, if you select the "Multi-Band Group" option, all "bands" within either the "MF/HF" or "VHF/UHF" frequency ranges will be generated.

  • The Transmission Specifications section of the worksheet now supports FT8 and FT4 as selections in the Mode Duty Factor field. The existing legacy calculators don't support sub-minute Transmit and Receive Times in their internal power calculation algorithms.
