Abstract
One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for determining radio frequency (RF) emission metrics associated with an antenna system and/or controlling a transmitter power of the antenna system based upon the determined RF metrics. In an example, a video stream is received from a camera associated with an antenna system. An object is detected in a video frame of the video stream. A separation distance between the object and a location associated with the antenna system is determined. A transmitter power of the antenna system is controlled and/or an alert is transmitted based upon the separation distance.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving a video stream from a camera associated with an antenna system;
- detecting a person in a video frame of the video stream;
- determining a separation distance between the person and a location associated with the antenna system;
- determining, based upon the separation distance and a transmitter power of the antenna system, a measure of radio frequency (RF) emissions associated with the person;
- comparing the measure of RF emissions with a threshold measure of RF emissions;
- and
- in response to a determination that the measure of RF emissions meets the threshold measure of RF emissions, reducing the transmitter power of the antenna system.
A device, comprising:
- a processor configured to execute instructions to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a video stream from a camera associated with an antenna system;
- detecting a person in a video frame of the video stream;
- determining a separation distance between the person and a location associated with the antenna system;
- determining, based upon the separation distance and a transmitter power of the antenna system, a measure of radio frequency (RF) emissions associated with the person;
- comparing the measure of RF emissions with a threshold measure of RF emissions;
- and
- in response to a determination that the measure of RF emissions meets the threshold measure of RF emissions, transmitting a RF emission overexposure alert to one or more devices.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that when executed perform operations comprising:
- receiving a video stream from a camera associated with an antenna system;
- detecting a person in a video frame of the video stream;
- determining a separation distance between the person and a location associated with the antenna system;
- determining, based upon the separation distance and a transmitter power of the antenna system, a measure of radio frequency (RF) emissions associated with the person;
- comparing the measure of RF emissions with a threshold measure of RF emissions;
- and
- in response to a determination that the measure of RF emissions meets the threshold measure of RF emissions, at least one of reducing the transmitter power of the antenna system or transmitting a RF emission overexposure alert to one or more devices.
