Abstract

This paper analyzes non-ionizing radiation levels of a uniformly illuminated horn antenna for land mobile earth station (LMES) application. Power flux density generated from the antenna at far field, near field, transition region, and equipment surface are calculated and assessed based on the method recommended by FCC. The analysis shows that the exposure levels satisfy the limits of International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) Guidelines, Council Recommendation 1999/519/EC of EU, CFR 47 FCC regulation and China EMF standard draft for both occupational exposure and public exposure.
