Page 30: Factors Determining Area Coverage
5 Determining location 5.2 Factors determining area coverage Energy sources, either purposeful emitters such as antennas, or unintentional emitters such as waveguide leaks, can be omnidirectional or focused in one direction. Field strength (power density expressed in mW/cm2 or W/m2) drops off rapidly with distance from the source. In the far field, field strength follows the inverse square law, i.e., at twice the distance there is one quarter the field strength. - Page 31 5 Determining location Mounting a SMARTS II further from the energy source than people will be. Although it is possible to use a SMARTS II in this application, it is risky. In order to use this approach successfully, it is important to calculate the relative energy levels that the monitor and people will be exposed to based on the distance from the energy source to the monitor and the distance from the source.
