| Abstract |
A modeling study was conducted for the purpose of examining RF radiation exposure levels caused by downward pointing radiation from commercial FM and TV broadcast antenna arrays. The Numerical Electromagnetic Code was used for radiation pattern calculations. Manufacturers' data and measurements were used to provide dimensional information for the computer models. Generic types of FM antennas were identified and their radiation characteristics were presented with emphasis on the reconfiguration of array geometries for purposes of reducing downward directed radiation fields. The popular super-turnstile VHF TV element was also modeled. Gain curves for various interelement spacings were developed for arrays containing 2 through 16 elements. |
