David Abramson, Chairman Select Board Posted: Town Hall, http://www.provincetown-ma.gov, 3/31/2020 10:45 am dv Published: Banner: April 9 and April 16, 2020 DONALD L. HAES, JR., CHP, CLSO Radiation Safety Specialist PO Box 198, Hampstead, NH 03841 617-680-6262 Email: [email protected] November 19, 2019 I have reviewed the information pertinent to the hypothetical installation of an AT&T Personal Wireless Services (PWS) omni-directional panel antenna installation on a utility pole. I have analyzed the scenario where there would be one antenna mounted with a centerline height of 30’ above ground level (AGL). This analysis considers the contributions of the AT&T PWS transmitters operating at each of the following supplied parameters: Table 1: Transmitter / Antenna Data and Supporting Parameters for “Typical” AT&T “Small Cell” Site Transmit # and Remote Radio Antenna Frequency Output Power Antenna Manufacturer - Unit (RRU) / Gain (dBd) (MHz) † (Watts) ‡ Model Number PWS Service (Appendix B) (Appendix A) RRUS-4415 / 1930-1950 4 X 40 7.03 B25 PCS RRUS-4426 / Galtronics / 2100-2180 4 X 60 7.53 B66 AWS GQ2410-06621 (See Appendix A) RRUS-2205 / 5155-5250 2 X 0.316 1.57 UNii Table Notes † Transmitter (Tx) Frequency: Central transmit frequency used to account for multiple channels. ‡ Maximum rated output power (per channel). Effective Radiated Power is the directional (RF) power (in watts) that would have to be radiated by a half-wave dipole antenna to give the same radiation intensity as the actual source at a distant receiver located in the direction of the antenna's strongest beam (main lobe). ERP It is equal to the input power to the antenna multiplied by the gain of the antenna. (Source Wiki).
