ITU-T K.91 (07/2017) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies

8、(ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunicat

9、ion Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of in

10、formation technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating a

11、gency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or s

12、ome other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTSITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or

13、 implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development p

14、rocess. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation.

42、3 Definitions 3.1 Terms defined elsewhere This Recommendation uses the following terms defined elsewhere: 3.1.1 antenna ITU-T K.70: Device that serves as a transducer between a guided wave (e.g., coaxial cable) and a free space wave, or vice versa. It can be used to emit or receive a radio signal. I

43、n this Recommendation the term antenna is used only for emitting antenna(s). 3.1.2 antenna gain ITU-T K.70: The antenna gain G (, ) is the ratio of power radiated per unit solid angle multiplied by 4 to the total input power. The gain is frequently expressed in decibels with respect to an isotropic

44、antenna (dBi). The formula defining the gain is: where: , : the angles in a polar coordinate system; : the antenna efficiency due to dissipative losses; ddPPG rini 4),(Rec. ITU-T K.91 (07/2017) 3 Pr: the radiated power in the (, ) direction; Pin: the total input power; d: an elementary solid angle i

45、n the direction of observation. NOTE In manufacturers catalogues the antenna gain is understood as a maximum value of the antenna gain. Gain does not include losses arising from impedance and polarization mismatches. If an antenna is without dissipative loss, then its gain is equal to its directivit

46、y D (, ). 3.1.3 average (temporal) power (Pavg) ITU-T K.52: The time-averaged rate of energy transfer defined by: where: P(t) is the instantaneous power; t1 and t2 are the start and stop time of the exposure. 3.1.4 averaging time (Tavg) ITU-T K.52: The averaging time is the appropriate time period o

47、ver which exposure is averaged for purposes of determining compliance with the limits. 3.1.5 basic restrictions ITU-T K.70: Restrictions on exposure to time-varying electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields that are based directly on established health effects. Depending upon the frequency of th

48、e field, the physical quantities used to specify these restrictions are: current density (J), specific absorption rate (SAR) and power density (S). 3.1.6 body mounted device body worn device IEC 62209-2: A portable device containing a wireless transmitter or transceiver which may be located close to

49、 a persons torso except the head during its intended use or operation of its radio functions (e.g., on a belt clip, holster, pouch, or on a lanyard when worn as necklace). 3.1.7 compliance distance ITU-T K.70: Minimum distance from the antenna to the point of investigation where the field level is deemed to be compliant with the limits. 3.1.8 contact current ITU-T K.52: Contact current is the current flowing in
