(Main)Basic standard for the evaluation of human exposure to electromagnetic fields from a stand alone broadcast transmitter (30 MHz - 40 GHz)
Basic standard for the evaluation of human exposure to electromagnetic fields from a stand alone broadcast transmitter (30 MHz - 40 GHz)
This standard applies to a broadcast transmitter operating in the frequency range 30 MHz to 40 GHz when put on the market. The objective of the standard is to specify, for such equipment operating in typical conditions, the method for assessment of compliance distances according to the basic restrictions (directly or indirectly via compliance with reference levels) related to human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields.
Grundnorm für die Berechnung und Messung der Exposition von Personen gegenüber elektromagnetischen Feldern von einzelnen Rundfunksendern (30 MHz bis 40 GHz)
Diese Norm gilt für einzelne Rundfunksender, die im Frequenzbereich 30 MHz bis 40 GHz betrieben werden, wenn sie in Verkehr gebracht werden. Zweck dieser Norm ist, für die unter typischen Betriebsbedingungen betriebenen Geräte und Einrichtungen das Verfahren zur Bewertung der Konformitätsabstände (entweder durch direkten Nachweis oder indirekt durch den Nachweis der Einhaltung von Referenzwerten) zu den auf die Sicherheit von Personen in hochfrequenten elektromagnetischen Feldern bezogenen Basisgrenzwerten festzulegen.

Deviations of isotropy have to be considered at all measured values of EMF with regard to various angles of incidence and polarization of the measured field In this document it is defined for incidences covering a hemisphere centred at the tip of the probe, with an equatorial plane normal to the probe and expanding outside the probe. The axial isotropy is defined by the maximum deviation of the measured quantity when rotating the probe along its main axis with the probe exposed to a reference wave with normal incidence with regard to the axis of the probe. The hemispherical isotropy is defined by the maximum deviation of the measured quantity when rotating the probe along its main axis with the probe exposed to a reference wave with varying angles of incidences and polarisation with regard to the axis of the probe in the half space in front of the probe 4.13 linearity e.g. of an antenna or any other technical device is showed, when all relationships between a reference quantity and the deviations of this quantity lie along a straight line.
