EIRP = PG<br />

ERP = 1.64 EIRP<br />

where:<br />

EIRP = is equivalent (or effective) isotropically radiated power<br />

referenced to an isotropic radiator<br />

ERP = is equivalent (or effective) radiated power referenced to a<br />

half-wave dipole radiator<br />

Analysis input assumptions<br />

1. SMART <strong>Meters</strong> [SK9AMI-4] have two RF transmitters (antennas)<br />

and are the type of smart meters typically installed on most buildings.<br />

They contain two antennas that transmit RF signals (916 MHz LAN<br />

and 2405 MHz Zigbee). The antennas CAN transmit simultaneously,<br />

and thus the maximum RF exposure is determined by the summation<br />

of power densities (from the FCC Certification Exhibit titled RF<br />

Exposure Report for FCC ID: SK9AMI-4).<br />

Model SK9AMI-4 transmits on 915 MHz is designated as LAN<br />

Antenna Gain for each model.<br />

a. Transmitter Power Output (TPO) used is as shown on the grant<br />

issued by the Telecommunications Certification Body (TCB).<br />

b. Antenna gain in dBi (decibels compared to an isotropic<br />

radiator) used comes from the ACS Certification Exhibit.<br />

2. Collector <strong>Meters</strong> [SK9AMI-2A] have three RF transmitters (antennas)
