Use & Relationship
The RHCP provides the data describing and defining radio frequency (RF) power density and x-ray characteristics for ground electronic systems, subsystems, equipment, components, and end items.
a. This Data Item Description (DID) contains the format and content preparation instructions for the data product generated by the specific and discrete task requirement as delineated in the contract.
b. This DID is applicable to all ground electronic systems, subsystems, equipment, components, and end items acquired by the Government. In addition, it is applicable to airborne emitters which plan testing at Eglin test ranges.
Preparation Instructions
1FormatContractor format is acceptable.
2ContentThe RHCP shall contain technical information describing and defining RF power density and x-ray characteristics for electronic systems. Where applicable, previously furnished documentation shall be referenced throughout the package. The RHCP shall include the following information:
2.1Preliminary dataThis section shall contain information which will indicate the prediction of RF power densities for personnel directly in front of, adjacent to, and behind the radiating element of the end item and adjacent to any component of the end item which is suspected of producing 0.01 watt/cm2 under any conditions of operations and maintenance including conditions wherein maintenance required visual inspection with enclosures removed. This section shall include a detailed list of the proposed measuring equipment.
2.1.1Final dataThis data shall be based on calculations or actual measurements of the end item which will accurately define and illustrate areas wherein an RF power density is unsafe for personnel. It shall describe the operating characteristics under which the information was derived along with the operating parameters of the end item.
2.1.2Baseline dataThis data shall include the following information:
aNomenclature of emitterAN/(number) or manufacturer and model number.
bData by which construction or modification is projected to start and scheduled data of operation
cMaximum transmitter peak power (kilowatts)
dType of emission (pulse, CW, voice, etc.)
ePulse width (micro seconds) and pulse repetition frequency (pulses/second); or maximum duty cycle
fFrequency and mission bandwidth
g.1Type of antenna and dimensions
g.33dB beamwidth (degrees or radians)
g.4Antenna center height above ground level in feet
g.5Scan rate; horizontal and vertical (surveillance radars only) in degrees/second
hSystem insertion losses between transmitter and antenna in dB
iPolarization of transmitted wave
jSafety devices for azimuth and elevation controlSafety devices for azimuth and elevation control (stops/locks/cutouts; mechanical/electrical/software) with a description of the device and limitations.
aThe method employed to determine the levels of x-radiationThe method employed to determine the levels of x-radiation, including a description of the instrumentation to be used for the determination for both quality and quantity shall be described.
bThe method by which measurements for these factors shall be taken throughout the operating capability range of the electronic or electrical equipment shall be described
cPreliminary and final x-ray survey data shall be included
