    20 m 104 cm Radiation hazard The SAILOR 150 FleetBroadband antenna radiates 16.1 dBW EIRP. This translates to a minimum safety distance of 0.6 m from the antenna while it is transmitting, based on a radiation level of 10 mW/cm...
  • Page 14 (including other Inmarsat based systems), because they may compromise the antenna performance. RF emission from radars might actually damage the antenna. The SAILOR FleetBroadband antenna itself may also interfere with other radio systems. Especially other Inmarsat systems and GPS receivers with poor frequency discrimination are vulnerable to the radiation generated by the SAILOR FleetBroadband antennas.
  • Page 15 Even at distances greater than “d min.” in the previous section the radar might still be able to degrade the performance of the SAILOR FleetBroadband system. The presence of one or more X-band radars within a radius up to 100 m could cause a minor degradation of the signal-to-noise ratio during high speed and data calls.
  • Page 16 Chapter 2: Installing the system The presences of S-band radar(s) are unlikely to cause any performance degradation – as long as the minimum distances (d min.) listed in the previous section are applied. It is strongly recommended that interference free operation is verified experimentally before the installation is finalized.
  • Page 17 Antenna mast mounting Mast mount kit: The top of the SAILOR 150 FleetBroadband antenna mast should be fitted with the dedicated mounting kit available from Thrane & Thrane. Assemble the mast mount kit according to the assembly instruction included with the kit.
