The major objective of the design of safe crowded transmitting antenna sites is not only to determine a safe zone around each
individual antenna; rather, to establish safety areas at the antenna site itself, as well as, at the neighboring areas. The
requirement is to ascertain the safety regions by considering the following parameters at each Test Point (TP) (or area segment):
the contribution of

field region of each antenna, and most importantly, the different Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs) associated with each
operating frequency at the antenna site. Implementation of all the above-mentioned aspects in a suitable computer requires
resources that only expert knowledgeable organizations possess. The graphically aided tool presented in this paper facilitates
the calculation of a “safety zone” for RADHAZ around a crowded antenna site from the knowledge of the “safety ranges” which
correspond to the individual transmitting antennas comprising it.
