Here is my attempt at an EMF spreadsheet. It is straight forward with no fiddle
factors added. It is for "far field" square law & not the cube law near fields,
as they are very condition dependant. So expect differences at distances under
a wavelength with other calculators!
Aerial gain _.--~~\ Hi Gain |Large Sphere
/-/-/-/ <_ ) Front Lobe |Complience
| ~~-__/ |Distance
| | |Needed
Tx Feeder loss | | Low Gain
Power ===================== / Height Angle
-' Small Sphere
I have done it in logical bits, so it is not too complex to follow, with simple
Maths used, e.g. straight fractions, dB convertions "Exp (dB/10x2.303) x Watts"
to Calculate the RF at the aerial, & with aerial gain dBs gives Isotropic ERP,
then calculate the area of a sphere needed to get the required field strength
limit, then the radius of that sphere for the minium distance (Area = 4 Pi R2),
rewritten as radus R = "square root of (area/(4 x Pi))". Then calculate aerial
off lobe field strenth distance if relevant.
Type this example into your spread sheet. N.B. Column "B" is for inputs & the
formulae (quoated in square brackets [=...] in the Notes column "D") to make
the result outputs. Note the number of brackets () needed in spreadsheets cells
in order to do the maths in the right order!

3 Notes
4 Tx Power > 200 Watts
5 FM/Process SSB > 100 % FM=100%, SSB=10%, Processed SSB 25%
6 Use Duty Cycle > 50 % Max overs, compared to 8 mins
7 Average Power is = 100 Watts Mean power [=B4*(B5/100)*(B6/100)]
8 Feeder Length > 10 m
9 Feeder loss /100M > 2 dB/100m Feeder used loss figure
10 Coax Loss is then = 0.2 dB Resultant dB loss [=B8/100 *B9]
11 Aerial Power is = 95.6 Watts [=EXP(-B10/10*2.303) *B7]
12 Aerial Gain > 8.7 dBi dBi figures are 2.15 above dBd (dipole)
13 Isotropic ERP is = 708 Watts Illuminating [=EXP(+B12/10*2.303) *B7]
14 Max Field Strength > 2 Watt/m Use Investigation level for frequency
15 Sphere Area need = 354 m2 Area for max illumination [=B13/B14]
16 Min Aerial Distance= 5.31 m R=SQRT A/4pi [=SQRT(B15/(4*3.142))]
17
18 With Beam Offset Angle
19 Off Beam Loss > 10 dB From Aerial elevation or polar diagram
20 Off Beam Power = 70.8 Watts Result [=EXP(-B19/10*2.303) *B13]
21 Sphere Area need = 35.4 m2 Result [=B20/B14]
22 Min Aerial Distance= 1.68 m with offset loss [=SQRT(B21/(4*3.142))]
Where ">" means input "B" cell follows, "=" Calculation "B" cell follows,
"[= ...]" means formulae used, put them into that lines"B" calculation column.
From here you can see the step by step process for each Tx signal for your site
calculations & hopefully they agree with the Ofcom estimate. And will help you
write your EMF ICNRIP complience document.
Why don't U send an interesting bul?
