General Information

Issue No: 01A Page: 5

The personnel concerned with the operation or maintenance of the equipment must study

and understand the following health and safety information, together with local site

regulations to ensure awareness of potential hazards.

WARNING: RF Power Hazard: High levels of RF power are present in the unit. Exposure to

RF or microwave power can cause burns and may be harmful to health.

WARNING: GaAs/BeO Hazard: Certain components inside the equipment contain toxic

substances, such as Gallium Arsenide and Beryllium Oxide. While these are safe

to handle under normal circumstances, individual components must not be cut,

broken apart, incinerated or chemically processed. In the case of Beryllium

Oxide, a white ceramic material, the principal hazard is from the dust or fumes,

which are carcinogenic if ingested, inhaled or enter the body via damaged skin.

Please consult your local authority before disposing of these components.

CAUTION Tantalum Capacitors: When subjected to reverse or excess forward voltage,

ripple current or temperature these components may rupture and could

potentially cause personal injury.

CAUTION: This system contains MOS devices. Ensure you use adequate Electro-Static

Discharge (ESD) precautions to prevent accidental damage.

The safe working distance from a transmitting antenna may be calculated from the

relationship:

D =

In which:

D = safe working distance (metres)

PT = transmitter or combiner power output (Watts)

GR = antenna gain ratio = anti log (gain dBi ÷ 10)

w = power density (Watts/square metre)

The RF power density value is determined by reference to safety guidelines for exposure of

the human body to non-ionising radiation. It is important to note that the guidelines

adopted differ throughout the world and are from time-to-time re-issued with revised

guidelines. For Vislink use, apply a maximum power density limit of 1W/m² when

calculating minimum safe working distances.

WARNING: Any transmitting equipment radiating power at frequencies of 100 kHz and

higher, has the potential to produce thermal and athermal effects upon the

human body.

To be safe:

a. Operators should not stand or walk in front of any antenna, nor should they

allow anyone else to do so.

b. Operators should not operate any RF transmitter or power amplifier with any of

its covers removed, nor should they allow anyone else to do so.

MINIMUM SAFE DISTANCE (METRES)

The RF Radiation Power Density limit figure recommended by Vislink is based upon

guideline levels published in:

a. IEEE standard C95.1 1999 - IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with respect to

Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3kHz to 300GHz.

b. Guidelines for Limiting Exposure to Time-varying Electric, Magnetic &

Electromagnetic Fields (up to 300GHz) published in 1998 by the Secretariat of the

International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection (ICNIRP).

Both documents define guideline RF power density limits for "Controlled" and

"Uncontrolled" environments. An uncontrolled environment is defined as one in which the

person subjected to the RF radiation may be unaware of and has no control over the

radiation energy received. The uncontrolled environment conditions can arise, even in the

best-regulated operations and for this reason, the limits defined for the uncontrolled

environment are assumed for the Vislink recommended limit.

Documents a. and b. also show the RF power density guidelines to be frequency

dependent. The two documents present different power density/frequency characteristics.

To avoid complexity and areas of uncertainty, Vislink recommend the use of a single power

density limit across the frequency range of 100 kHz to 300GHz. The 1W/m² power density

limit we recommend satisfies the most stringent of the guidelines published to date.

NOTE: The IICNIRP document are free to download from the internet

(www.icnirp.de/emfgdl - PDF file). The IEEE standard is available on loan from Essex

County Library on payment of a search fee.

Introduction

Issue No: 01A Page: 7

Vislink designed the Digital Power Amplifier (DPA3) as an add-on to our digital transmitters

to provide increased output power. Typical applications include mobile transmitters, such

as helicopter downlinks.

The DHPA operates over frequencies between 1.3 to 7GHz, in bands, with a typical factory

set bandwidth of 400MHz and a nominal output power of up to 20W. The amplifiers

feature excellent linearity as required for COFDM digital modulation.

The unit may be powered from +20VDC to +30VDC.
