22、ITHOUT SUCH LIMITATIONS. FORWARD This forward is not part of this Telecommunications Systems Bulletin (TSB). This TSB is the product of work undertaken by the Electromagnetic Energy (EME) working group of the TIA TR8.17 RF Exposure Engineering Subcommittee. TR8.17 is a subcommittee of TIA TR8 Privat
23、e Land Mobile Engineering Committee and addresses Radio Frequency exposure matters of Private Radio products. Members of TR8.17 who contributed to this TSB are: Joel Berger, Wayne Leland (TIA, Private Radio Section chair), Roy McClellan III, Bob Speidel (TR8.17 Chair), Fred Moloznik (EME WG leader),
24、 John Oblak, Mike Ramnath, Ken Enger, Michael Sailsman, Masaaki Takahashi, Ron Backlund and Tess Zagaruyka (TR8.17 Vice-Chair). Prior to balloting this TSB comments on the document were sought from PCTEST Engineering Laboratory, Inc.; Bay Area Compliance Lab Corp.; Celltech Labs Inc.; MET Laboratori
25、es Inc.; Rhein Tech Laboratories, Inc. (RTL); UltraTech Laboratories, Inc.; and Nemko Canada. All comments received from these organizations prior to ballot authorization have been incorporated. The members of TR8.17 and the members of the EME Working Group appreciate the need to provide clear and c
26、onsistent information documenting device compliance with the appropriate regulatory RF Exposure requirements. During the review of RF Exposure Test Reports previously submitted to relevant regulatory bodies the members of the Working Group encountered wide variety in the formats of the reports submi
27、tted. While the Working Group believes the devices covered in these test reports previously submitted demonstrate compliance with all necessary regulatory requirements, the Working Group found the diversity of the test report format made the review of the report contents time-consuming, confusing an
28、d inefficient. The Working Group realized a more uniform reporting format would likely improve the efficiency of the review process by reducing if not eliminating the confusion encountered during the review of previously submitted RF Exposure Test Reports. The Working Group believes the amount of ti
29、me necessary to adequately review the test reports will decrease significantly if reviewers know exactly where the information being sought is located in the test report. The sole purpose of this Bulletin is to suggest a consistent RF Exposure test report format for portable two way land mobile radi
30、o products. This Bulletin does not alter, in any way, the relevant regulatory requirements for RF Exposure. The information in this Bulletin is intended to be solely informative. iiPrivate Land Mobile Radio (FCC Part 90) Two-Way Portable Equipment RF Exposure (EME) Test Report Guidelines TABLE OF CO

INTRODUCTION Exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy has been identified as an environmental factor to be considere
35、d before a radio transmitter will be certified by various regulatory agencies. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) OET Bulletin 65 (Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields, edition 97-01, August 1997) outlines various Electromagnetic
36、Energy (EME) evaluation methods as they apply to mobile, portable and base station Land Mobile Radio Products and provides assistance in determining whether a proposed or existing transmitting facility, operation or device complies with established FCC RF Exposure requirements. 47 CFR 2.1091, 2.1093
37、, 1.1307(b) and 1.1310 require RF exposure compliance for fixed, mobile and portable transmitting devices. 47 CFR 1.1310 lists the field strength and power density limits that are applicable to mobile and fixed transmitters. 47 CFR 2.1093 (d) lists the specific absorption rate (SAR) limits for porta
38、ble transmitters that are applicable for general population and for occupational exposure conditions. OET Bulletin 65 97-01, Supplement C 01-01 to OET Bulletin 65, ANSI/IEEE C95.3, NCRP Report 119 etc. also provide guidance on RF exposure evaluation for meeting field strength, power density and SAR
39、requirements. Numerous rules sections and other documents discuss RF exposure requirements and methods to be used for verification of compliance with such requirements, but there exists no information outlining any recommended formats for reports submitted to document compliance with relevant RF Exp
40、osure requirements. 1.1. Scope To recommend uniform format guidelines that can be used in the preparation of test reports submitted to the Federal Communications Commission and other relevant regulatory agencies, where such portable two-way radio equipment test reports are intended to document compl
41、iance with relevant regulatory RF Exposure requirements. 11.2. Relevant Documents This Telecommunications Systems Bulletin (TSB) should be interpreted in conjunction with definitions and procedures described in the following documents: IEEE C95.1-1991 IEEE C95.3-1991 47 CFR 1.1307, 1.1310, 2.1091 an
42、d 2.1093 FCC OET Bulletin 65, edition 97-01 Supplement C to OET Bulletin 65, edition 01-01 (June 2001 release) 1.3. Definitions 1.3.1. Portable 2-way device1For purposes of FCC RF exposure requirements, a portable device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used with its radiating stru
43、ctures located within 20 centimeters of a persons body. Portable devices are evaluated for RF exposure compliance with respect to specific absorption rate (SAR) limits. 1.3.2. Mobile 2-way device2For purposes of FCC RF exposure requirements, a mobile device is defined as a transmitting device design
44、ed to be used in other than fixed locations3and to be generally used in such a way that a separation distance of at least 20 centimeters is normally maintained between the transmitters radiating structures and the body of the user and nearby persons. A 2-way radio operating with a vehicular-mounted
45、antenna is an example of a mobile transmitter device. Mobile devices are normally evaluated for RF exposure compliance with respect to field strength or power density limits. When appropriate, mobile devices may also be evaluated with respect to SAR limits to demonstrate compliance. 1.3.3. FCC RF Ex
46、posure Limits The RF exposure limits adopted by the FCC are generally based on recommendations from the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) Report No. 86 and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI/IEEE) C95.1-1992.4FCC 1See 47 CFR 2.1093 2See 47 CFR 2.1091 3In t
47、his context, the term “fixed location“ means that the device, including its antenna, is physically secured at a permanent location and is not able to be easily moved to another location. 4NCRP Report No. 86, “Biological Effects and Exposure Criteria for Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields“, sectio
