I would like to point out a possible inconsistency in the formula provided for cell B13 (Isotropic ERP).
The current formula is:
=EXP(+B12/10*2.303)*B7
However, since B11 already calculates the actual power delivered to the antenna after feeder losses, I believe B13 should use B11 rather than B7.
The suggested corrected formula would therefore be:
=EXP(B12/10*2.303)*B11
This would ensure that the feeder losses are properly taken into account when calculating the isotropic radiated power.
Interestingly, the numerical example provided also appears to support this correction, as the stated result is consistent with using B11 rather than B7 in the calculation.

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, and 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 and 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))]

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 and 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?
