New radiation limits for a digital radio world
Abstract
The paper examines new radiation limits for digital radio transmission systems. Most of the regulations set an upper limit on the total power flux density radiated within a certain frequency bandwidth, but new techniques provide a possibility that some digital transmission systems could cause significant interference to other transmissions without violating the current regulations. Therefore, new radiation limits are suggested here which set an upper bound on the total energy instead of the average power radiated within a certain time period. It is shown that the current regulations can be extended to establish the new limits which are essentially identical to the traditional continuous-wave signals, but can also limit the bursty signals.
