RF RADIATION EXPOSURE HAZARD This warning is provided by Broadcast Microwave Services (BMS) Inc. for safety purpose. The following information help to reduce the risk of RF exposure hazard. FCC Limit of RF Exposure According to Federal Communication Commission (FCC), the Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) for FR radiation has been set to 1.0 mW/cm2 for the 6 GHz Power Amplifier with maximum 4 Watt output power (OET Bulletin 65). The 6 GHz Power Amplifier (PA) may ba a part of a non-broadcast transmitter and without an antenna it will not create RF exposure (power density) exceeding the 1.0 mW/cm2 FCC limit. However a high-gain antenna such as a parabolic dish will greatly enhance the 6 GHz PA output power density beyond the MPE limit of 1.0 mW/cm2. In this situation a minimum distance from the antenna needs to be calculated in order to keep the MPE always below the safety limit. The calculation has been done for 6 GHz PA based on the formula mentioned in OET Bulletin 56. The calculations have been done for different commonly used antenna in the BAS and Public Safety/ Law enforcement applications. Figure 1 shows the plot of the minimum exposure distance for 5dBi, 16dBi, and 30dBi antennas. The 6 GHz PA transmits the maximum power of 4 Watt. The minimum exposure distances are found from the cross points of the exposure graphs (for various antennas) with the line of maximum permissible exposure (i.e. 1mW/cm2). Notice that the numbers in Figure 1 predict the worse case scenario, which is straight in front of the antenna (exposing to the antenna main-lobe). Obviously the side-lobe exposures are well below these numbers as the radiation intensity dramatically reduces on the side lobes. The antenna used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

This power amplifier is used for increasing the transmitting range by boosting the 6GHz transmitter power to maximum 4 Watts. Application Portable 6GHz COFDM transmitters such as 6GHz Carry-Coder II, are used behind the camera in Electronic News Gathering (ENG). These transmitters are only capable to provide a medium RF power (e.g. 250mW). This seriously limits the distance between the event site and the TV relay station. To extend the transmission range, an external amplifier is needed to boost the transmitter power in order to compensate the path loss and ensure the acceptable Received Signal Level (RSL) at the destination. The BPA-5CC-9 will increase the RF power to the maximum 4W, without adding spurious and distortions to the transmitter output. The output of the power amplifier is directly connected to the 6 GHz transmitting antenna. Figure 1 BPA-5CC-9 Linear Power Amplifier
