16、 3 MHz to 30 MHz. The object of this standard is to demonstrate the compliance of such equipment with the basic restrictions (directly or indirectly via compliance with reference levels) related to public human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields. 2 Normative references The following

18、nt of human exposure to electromagnetic fields from broadcasting service transmitters in the HF bands (3 MHz - 30 MHz) 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 antenna device that serves as a transducer between a guided wave (e.g. coax

19、ial cable) and a free space wave, or vice versa 3.2 basic restriction restrictions of 1999/519/EC 1 on exposure to time-varying electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields that are based directly on established health effects 3.3 broadcasting service radio communication service in which the trans

20、missions are intended for direct reception by the general public. This service may include sound transmissions, television transmissions or other types of transmission 3.4 compliance distance minimum distance from the antenna to a point of investigation where field level is deemed to be compliant to

21、 the limits 3.5 compliance boundary surface around the antenna outside of which all field levels are deemed to be compliant to the limits 3.6 contact current (IC) contact current between a person and an object exposed to the field, is expressed in amperes (A). A conductive object in an electric fiel

23、 3.8 induced current current induced inside the body as a result of direct exposure to electromagnetic fields, expressed in the unit ampere (A) 3.9 electric field strength (E) magnitude of a field vector at a point that represents the force (F) on a positive small charge (q) divided by the charge qF

24、E = electric field strength is expressed in units of volt per meter (V/m) 3.10 magnetic field strength (H) vector quantity obtained at a given point by subtracting the magnetization M from the magnetic flux density B divided by the permeability of free space 0: BH M=0Magnetic field strength is expre

25、ssed in the unit ampere per metre (A/m) NOTE In vacuum, the magnetic field strength is at all points equal to the magnetic flux density divided by the permeability of free space: H = B / 03.11 modulation process by which a quantity that characterises an oscillation or wave is constrained to follow t

26、he values of a characteristic quantity of a signal NOTE Two modulation, in particular, are used for this standard: AM (Amplitude Modulation) and COFDM (Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex); it must also be taken into consideration when carrying out measurements and calculations to determin

27、e whether or not the limits are being exceeded by adding the modulation factor to the carrier r.m.s. value. 3.12 reference levels reference levels of exposure are provided by 1999/519/EC 1 for comparison with measured values of physical quantities; compliance with all reference levels will ensure co

28、mpliance with basic restrictions. If measured values are higher than reference levels, it does not necessarily follow that the basic restrictions have been exceeded, but a more detailed analysis is necessary to assess compliance with the basic restrictions 3.13 root-mean-square (r.m.s.) r.m.s. value

29、 is obtained by taking the square root of the average of the square of the value of the periodic function taken throughout one period BS EN 50476:2008EN 50476:2008 6 3.14 specific absorption rate (SAR) time derivative of the incremental energy (dW) absorbed by (dissipated in) an incremental mass (dm

30、) contained in a volume element (dV) of given mass density () =dVdWdtddmdWdtdSAR SAR is expressed in units of watt per kilogram (W/kg) 3.15 shortwave broadcasting the frequency band between 3 MHz and 30 MHz is called the short wave band. Broadcast transmission in this frequency range is therefore ca

31、lled shortwave broadcasting 3.16 transmitter device to generate radio frequency power for the purpose of communication NOTE A transmitter does not radiate the energy by itself, it needs to be connected to an antenna. 4 Conditions for calculation and measurement The near field of a short wave antenna

32、 may extend to a considerable distance. This may result in field-strengths falling below the levels at locations close to the array, then rising again with increasing distance from the antennas (especially for curtain arrays). However, at large distances, once the far-field region is entered, the fi

33、eld-strength levels follow the normal pattern of decreasing with increased distance from the antenna. The calculation and/or measurement shall be performed in accordance with EN 50475. The transmitter shall be operating in accordance with the manufacturer specification. Calculations and/or measureme

34、nts on broadcast transmitters shall be performed on the final installation. The distances from the radiating antenna at which the calculations and/or measurements shall be performed, shall be the compliance distances for general public as specified by the transmitter equipment manufacturer. 5 Limits

35、 The transmitter shall comply with the relevant limits for public specified as basic restrictions in the Council Recommendation for the general public exposure 1999/519/EC 1. Compliance with the reference level will ensure compliance with the relevant basic restriction. If the measured or calculated

36、 value exceeds the reference level, it does not necessarily follow that the basic restriction will be exceeded. However, whenever a reference level is exceeded, it is necessary to test compliance with the relevant basic restriction and to determine whether additional protective measures are necessar

37、y. BS EN 50476:2008 7 EN 50476:2008 6 Evaluation of results and determination of compliance The equipment is deemed to fulfil the requirements of this standard if the calculated and/or measured values are less than or equal to the limits at the compliance distances. 7 Documentation provided by the e

38、quipment manufacturer The manufacturer shall provide the following information with the equipment: a) output power, type of modulation of the transmitter; b) compliance distances for general public exposure; and, if appropriate, c) information on how to determine exposure levels and compliance dista
