As a wireless designer, you have been tasked with designing a DAS which supports UHF public safety radios. You have determined that if you increase the power of the base station antenna, you can…

The power distribution difference between a single antenna and multiple antennas is an engineering trade-off, not a legal restriction on how much power may be transmitted.

Choosing the correct launch amplifier affects system performance but is a hardware selection consideration, not a regulatory constraint that limits the permissible power level.

Building wall attenuation is a propagation factor that influences coverage prediction but does not legally restrict the transmitter power level that may be used.

Regulatory bodies such as the FCC establish maximum allowable transmitter output power and EIRP for each licensed frequency band, including UHF public safety channels governed under 47 CFR Part 90. Exceeding these limits constitutes an illegal operation that can cause interference to other public safety users and result in enforcement action regardless of the coverage benefit achieved. A DAS designer must verify any proposed power level falls within the legally permitted threshold before implementation.
