Why is duty cycle one of the factors used to determine safe RF radiation exposure levels?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: A. It affects the average exposure to radiation
Duty cycle is a factor because it affects the average exposure to radiation. RF exposure limits are based on average exposure over time. A transmitter that is on less often gives a lower average exposure.
Tip: Duty cycle sets the average.
