I think you are right, I was thinking FM broadcast stations How far are you from the nearest FM radio tower? Those typically put out 100,000W.
Cell Towers Although the FCC permits an effective radiated power (ERP) of up to 500 watts per channel (depending on the tower height), the majority of cellular or PCS cell sites in urban and suburban areas operate at an ERP of 100 watts per channel or less. I am not sure how many channels on a typical cell tower?? Amps = 395 channels for voice GSM = 125 Channels X 8 Slots per Channel = 1000 Users CDMA seems to be dynamic, 55 Voice Channels, but it rotates users on each channel within time slots to get more users per channel. It also seems the more users trying to access the tower the more transmit power required by the handset to over come noise and it lowers the bit rate for the call to handle more users. I would assume these numbers are per cell, and I would imagine they have more than one cell on a tower. How far are you from the nearest FM radio tower? Those typically put out 100,000W. Doppler Weather: [image: radar power] http://www.doprad.com/radhaz.php This information is intended to create awareness regarding the potential health hazards associated with high-powered Doppler weather radar systems. Today you can watch television across the country and see hundreds of televisions stations with their own LIVE Doppler weather radar system. But users of some of these “high-powered” (250,000 watt to 1,250,000 watt) radars neglect to mention the possible safety and health hazards that are an intrinsic byproduct of these systems. Exposure studies conducted during the 1980′s indicate a possible correlation between escalating cancer rates and increasing levels of radiation in our environment. We cannot eliminate radiation completely from our environment, but we can reduce health risks substantially by controlling our exposure to it. Research indicates that broadcasters using other vendors’ high-powered radars do not even realize that these radars may actually exceed the FCC standards for safe exposure levels and may pose a heath risk (at the very least to those that must work on these units). The graph below shows the comparison between radiation output for the high powered radars versus the ADC low power, solid-state radar, and references the FCC microwave radiation exposure limits. One proactive action that can be taken is to make your local broadcasters aware of your concern about the use of these unnecessary high-powered Doppler radars. Some of these radars have ERPs (Effective Radiated Power) of over 10 GIGAWATTS (OR 10 BILLION watts). The problem is they also OVERLAP these towers Stewart On Thu, Dec 12, 2013 at 4:17 PM, Nigel Dyer <l...@thedyers.org.uk> wrote: > The figure of 100,000 watts for a cell phone tower seems a little high. > > The most plausible figures from the web seem to be up to 500 watts if they > are covering a large area, or somewhat less if it is a small cell in a city. > > Nigel > > On 12/12/2013 19:21, leaking pen wrote: > > Waldo anyone? > > > On Thu, Dec 12, 2013 at 12:19 PM, ChemE Stewart <cheme...@gmail.com>wrote: > >> Guys, >> >> I think Doppler Weather and Military radar pulsing 750,000 to 3,000,000 >> watts 24/7 into the atmosphere is potentially the worst of the offenders. >> The NEXRAD Doppler weather towers cover a 150 mile radius.
