3、f transmitting antennas and to identify the main source of radiation. It offers guidance on mitigation methods which allow reduction of radiation level in order to comply with exposure limits. It also provides guidance on procedures necessary in the environment (on site) in which, in most cases, the

4、re is a simultaneous exposure to multiple frequencies from many different sources. Radiating sources may belong to many operators and may represent different radiocommunication services (e.g., cellular systems, trunking systems, broadcasting, radio relays, wireless access, etc.).

The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendat

In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC.

However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation

K.70 (06/2007) v Introduction The real sources of intenti

21、onal EMFs are transmitting antennas not transmitters themselves because the radiation patterns of the transmitting antennas determine EMF distribution in the vicinity of a transmitting station. The compliance with unintentional radiation of the radiocommunication or broadcasting transmitters, such a

22、s around their enclosure (or in the case of an open enclosure for maintenance or tuning purposes), is not under the scope of this Recommendation. The accuracy of calculations during the exposure assessment depends on the methodology used and on the information concerning radiating source. In this Re

23、commendation, particular stress is laid on the guidance referring to radiating source characteristics, mainly the most important parameters, i.e., transmitting antenna radiation patterns. This Recommendation offers information on radiation patterns for a wide range of typical transmitting antennas u

24、sed in radiocommunication and broadcasting. It also gives guidance on how to organize calculations, depending on accessible data. This Recommendation presents the possible technical solutions to the problem when the reference levels are exceeded in the multiple sources environment. In the case when

25、many operators have radiating sources in the considered area, the proper solution has to be found on the basis of an agreement between all parties. In the case when such an agreement is not possible, the operator who introduces the last change in the installations will be responsible for the appropr

26、iate limitation of the exposure level from his source of radiation so as not to exceed the allowed global limit. ITU-T Rec. K.70 (06/2007) 1ITU-T Recommendation K.70 Mitigation techniques to limit human exposure to EMFs in the vicinity of radiocommunication stations 1 Scope This Recommendation provi

27、des guidance on mitigation techniques for limiting the exposure from radiocommunication installations, especially in the multiple sources environment. This guidance presents methods for field strength distribution evaluation, cumulative exposure ratio evaluation, identification of the main source of

28、 radiation, and offers mitigation techniques methods for reducing the levels of electromagnetic fields during simultaneous exposure in the multiple sources environment. In this Recommendation, the following reference limits are used: electric field strength, magnetic field strength and power density

29、. Since compliance with the reference limits guarantees the compliance with basic restrictions, this is a conservative approach. In the far-field region the use of the reference levels gives results which are very close to real radiation levels. In the near-field region the obtained results will ove

30、restimate or underestimate real radiation levels. Moreover, this Recommendation deals with reference levels calculated in free space, so EMF influence on human tissues or human body is not considered. This Recommendation also gives guidance on identifying those areas in which the highest radiation l

31、evels should be expected. This piece of information may be helpful to define the area for measurements. The guidance given in this Recommendation applies to any exposure limits; however, in the examples of calculations, the ICNIRP exposure limits are taken. A software EMF-estimator (see Appendix I)

32、is attached to this Recommendation in order to support its application. The software implements the methodology described in this Recommendation and gives the possibility to calculate the cumulative exposure for the reference levels. It also contains the library of the radiation patterns of transmit

33、ting antennas for a wide range of radiocommunication and broadcast services. The EMF-estimator is not appropriate for the equipment certification in order to put it on the market. This Recommendation is intended for use when considering the EMFs in areas around transmitting stations, e.g., around tr

34、ansmitting antennas in their places of installation. 2 References The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation.
