electromagnetic site surveya, should be less than the compliance level in each
frequency rangeb.
NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
a) Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which REAL y-Series is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, REAL y-Series should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating REAL y-Series.
b) Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
Recommended separation distances between
portable and mobile RF communications equipment and REAL y-Series
REAL y-Series is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which
radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of REAL
y-Series can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a
minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment
(transmitters) and REAL y-Series as recommended below, according to the
maximum output power of the communications equipment.
