8.4 Safety Guideline for Microwave Radiation Hazard

The radiation levels of Microwave and Millimeter-Wave that iPASOLINK series deal
with are very low, and no health hazard has been reported for them so far. However,
advanced countries that care much about health hazard have started regulating the
radiation levels. For EU countries, it is specified by EN 62311 Annex A A.2. In order
to follow the regulation, operators should not work near the antenna if its transmitter
is activating. Especially, the radiation level of a specific area in front of antenna is
high.
See the following illustration and Calculation Examples 1 and 2:
Power density in front of the antenna turns high along the antenna beam. Ensure not
to allow yourself radiated by beams anytime.

The power density and field strength level can be obtained by the following
calculation formula:
