Where: MPED is Maximum Permissible Exposure Distance or safe distance.
All quantities are calculated in linear or numeric quantities.
The exposure limit, MPED, and conducted power units must be consistent, mW and cm
for this case.
Duty cycle is set using packet sizes for master and slave. Packet sizes are set in the radio
Network Configuration Menu. At Power up and with no data transmitting, the radios
will transmit or beacon with a duty cycle of 6 to 10% depending upon modulation
setting. The maximum Duty Cycle is 100%.
