• Typical installation example
A UHF base station transmitter is to be installed on
the roof of an office.

The transmit power is 25 watts, there is 20 m of
RG-213 coaxial cable and the antenna is vertically
polarised dipole.

The specification of the RG-213 cable gives a loss
of 1.5 dB/10 m. There will be 3 dB loss for the 20 m
length used.
of 1.5 dB/10 m. There will be 3 dB loss for the 20 m
length used.
The RF power at the antenna input will be 12.5 watts.
The dipole antenna has a forward gain of 0 dBd or
1.6, giving an EIRP of 20 watts.

Referring to the table above for VHF/UHF vertical
antennas, this gives a front clearance distance of ap-
prox. 1.5 m and a height clearance of 3 m.
antennas, this gives a front clearance distance of ap-
prox. 1.5 m and a height clearance of 3 m.
The antenna installation needs to ensure that the low-
est part of the antenna is at least 3 m above any point
where the general public may gain access and that
they cannot pass within 1.5 m in front of the antenna.

If there is no general public access to the roof in
question then the antenna could be mounted on a
short stub mast. If there is such access to the roof
then the antenna could be mounted on top of a short
mast of 3.2 m high. The mast position should be such
that the antenna can radiate clearly i.e. no other ob-
ject or structure is within 1.5 m (preferably more).

If for any reason such minimum distances are impos-
sible to guarantee then some type of access con-
trol fence or barrier around the antenna installation
should be provided.

Should a Yagi type antenna be used then you will
have to obtain a 3 dimensional polar plot of the radia-
tion characteristic from the manufacturer and evaluate
the clearance distances in both vertical and horizontal
planes.

• Operating Notes
All of the above comments on RF safety assume that
the radio is transmitting continuously in a constant
carrier mode such as FM or RTTY etc.

The RF exposure limits recommended by the EC are
based on the mean power averaged over a 6 minute
period.

Therefore if the total transmit time during any 6

even further within the recommended limits.
