Table 9: FCC Peak Power Distance
PEAK POWER LIMIT
(Distance at which 4000 uW/cm2*** FCC peak limit is exceeded in inches)
| 60% | 100% | 1000% | 2000% | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Reflection | Reflection | Reflection* | Reflection* | |
| One Smart Meter | 2” | 2.6” | 14.2” | 27” |
| Four Smart Meters | 4.1” | 5.2” | 28.3” | 54” |
| One Collector Meter | 4” | 4.5” | 24” | 46.7” |
| One Collector +3 SM | 5.0” | 6.3” | 34.6” | 66.1” |
*Note: 1000-2000% reflection based on Vermeeren et al, 2010; Christ et al, 2010; Hondou, 2002.
**More than 4 meters placed together do not appreciably increase the exposure to one reference point, such as a crib or bed. However, multiple meters can increase the square footage of space similarly affected.
*** FCC OET 65 and ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992, 1999 specify that 4000 uW/cm2 public safety limit be applied for frequencies between 300 MHz and 6 GHz (6000 MHz) for peak power exposure.
