Description

This report and measurements described in it have been undertaken to determine radio frequency levels in publicly accessible areas around the Sugar Loaf (Christchurch, New Zealand) broadcasting antenna and ascertain whether it is being operated in accordance with New Zealand Standard 6609.1:1990 Radiofrequency radiation - Part 1 : Maximum exposure levels 100kHz-300GHz. Measurements were made on 9 February 1998. Maximum exposures of 8 microW/cm2 were detected in the car park area, immediately below the Sugar Loaf antenna. This is 4% of the maximum of 200 microW/cm2 specified for public exposure levels in NZS 6609.1:1990. As the distance from the antenna increased, the exposure levels decreased markedly and in general, were below 2 microW/cm2. The measurements showed that the site is operating in accordance with NZS 6609.1:1990. (author). 2 appendices
