Question
How did they get 10000 in working below? Why is the lobe at -10dB?
A 6 GHz common-carrier microwave communications link uses a tower-mounted antenna with a gain
of 40 dB, and a transmitter power of 5 W. To evaluate the radiation hazard of this system, calculate the
power density at a distance of 20 m from the antenna. Do this for a position in the main beam of the
antenna, and for a position in the side lobe region of the antenna. Assume a worst-case side lobe level
of -10 dB.
Note: The recommended safe power density is as low as 0.2 mW/cm² at the lower RF range of around
100 MHz because the fields penetrate the body more deeply at lower frequencies. Above 15 GHz the
power density limit rises to 10 mW/cm². At 6 GHz the safe limit is 1.2 mW/cm².
