Abstract

Electric-field strengths were measured at a number of points near 5-W personal transceivers. The points were located on cylinders of revolution with radii of 7 and 12 cm around the antenna. The transceivers operated on four authorized frequencies of 40.27, 162.475, 464, and 823 MHz, and radiated powers of 5, 5, 5, and 3 W, respectively. In some cases, these measured values exceeded the exposure limits suggested in ANSI Standards C95.1-1982. They are quite significantly higher at 40 and 162 MHz. What effect this has on humans is not known
