ITU-T K.100 (07/2017) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field
6、of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing
7、 telecommunications on a worldwide basis. 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 Recommendations is covered by
8、 the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. 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. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate bo
9、th a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when
10、 all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by
12、 ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process.

19、on is put into service 1 Scope This Recommendation specifies the measurement procedure to assess compliance with general public electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure limits for a base station (BS) operating in the frequency range 100 MHz-40 GHz when it is put into service in its operational environme
20、nt. Simplified assessment procedures are provided to identify those installations that are known to be compliant with EMF exposure limits without measurements. With its specific focus on measurements, this Recommendation complements the existing ITU-T K-series Recommendations. Contact currents due t
21、o contact with conductive objects irradiated by EMFs, lie outside the scope of this Recommendation. For commercial market BS products, there could be other requirements specified by the manufacturer that might need to be fulfilled. For such types of product testing, this Recommendation also does not
22、 apply. Where national laws, standards or guidelines on exposure limits to EMF exist and provide procedures that are at variance with this Recommendation, the pertinent national laws, standards or guidelines shall take precedence over the procedures provided in this Recommendation. 2 References The

31、ther than the emission from the equipment under test (EUT). 3.2.2 assessment domain boundary (ADB): Boundary surrounding an antenna of the equipment under test (EUT) outside of which measurements do not need to be conducted. The ADB defines the maximum possible measurement area where the source is c
32、onsidered to be relevant. 3.2.3 base station (BS): Fixed equipment for radio transmission used in cellular communication or wireless installation for local area networks. For the purpose of this Recommendation, the term base station includes all radio transmitter(s) and associated antenna(s). 3.2.4
33、compliance boundary (CB): Boundary defining a volume outside which the radio frequency (RF) exposure from the equipment under test (EUT) is below the exposure limit. 3.2.5 domain of investigation (DI): Sub-domain within the assessment domain boundary (ADB) to which the general public have access. 3.
34、2.6 equipment under test (EUT): The base station that shall be put into service, including all transmitting antennas (operating in the frequency range 100 MHz to 40 GHz). 3.2.7 equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP): The product of the power accepted by the antenna and the maximum antenna ga
35、in relative to an isotropic antenna. 3.2.8 exposure ratio (ER): The assessed exposure parameter at a specified location for each operating frequency of a radio source, expressed as the fraction of the related limit. For assessment against reference levels: ER = max (E/Elim)2, (H/Hlim)2 In the far-fi
36、eld: ER = (E/Elim)2 = (H/Hlim)2 = S/Slim where S, E, and H are the root mean square (r.m.s.) values, respectively, of power density, electric field strength and magnetic field strength measured at frequency f. Slim, Elim and Hlim are the corresponding limits at the same frequency. When exposure is e
37、valuated for a certain frequency band (the total power density or the field strength within the frequency interval fmin,fmax is assessed), Slim, Elim or Hlim are chosen as the most stringent limits within the band. Rec. ITU-T K.100 (07/2017) 3 3.2.9 far-field formula: Formula that can be used in the
38、 far-field to evaluate the power density, S: where P is the transmitted power, G, is the gain of the antenna in the direction (,) and d is the distance from the antenna to the evaluation point. The associated electric field strength, E, and magnetic field strength, H, can be evaluated as follows: wh
39、ere 0 377 . If the power density is evaluated in the direction of maximum antenna gain: 3.2.10 isotropic antenna: A hypothetical, lossless antenna having equal radiation intensity in all directions. 3.2.11 main lobe: The radiation lobe containing the direction of maximum radiation. In certain antenn
40、as, such as multilobed or split-beam antennas, there may be more than one major lobe. 3.2.12 reactive near-field region: The reactive near field of an antenna with maximum extension D is in this context defined as max(, D, D2/4) where denotes the free space wavelength. 3.2.13 relevant source: A radi
41、o source, in the frequency range 8.3 kHz to 300 GHz, which at a given point of investigation has an ER larger than 0.05. 3.2.14 side lobe: A radiation lobe in any direction other than the main lobe. 3.2.15 total exposure ratio (TER): The sum of exposure ratios (ERs) of the equipment under test (EUT)

In order to allow
47、for accurate and efficient assessments, different routes are possible depending on the characteristic of the EUT or on the installation type. In some specific cases, compliance with relevant exposure limits can be assessed without the necessity to conduct measurements (e.g., because of the low power
48、 transmitted, or because of the position or orientation of the transmitters or antennas with respect to areas accessible to the general public, or because simpler calculation methods can be used ITU-T K.52). Both broadband and frequency-selective equipment can be used for the assessment (see clause
49、9.1). Measurements conducted with broadband equipment, however, might lead to overly conservative results. If the exposure level in areas accessible to the general public is found to be above the limits by means of broadband measurements, then compliance should be verified with frequency-selective equipment. Otherwise, the mitigation techniques described in ITU-T K.70 shall be applied. The step-by-step procedure of Figure 5-1 is specified in clauses 6 to 10. Rec. ITU-T K.100 (07/2017)
