The transmit power of these satellites is on the order of 200W, so 100x more would be 20kW, so about the same as a TV transmitter. And you can drive right past a TV transmitter, whereas satellites are thousands of miles away in space, and the received power here on earth is a fraction of the emitted power.
Thank you for the clarification, with more insight!
I get that these lack the energy required to break chemical bonds, alter DNA, or cause damage to brain tissue etc.
The radio waves still pass through a human body, and the energy absorbed cannot cause thermal tissue heating, but…
There are cases I know, from personal life while working at military, of people who worked at military radio stations, including on-ground based jammers with more powerful emitters, got horrible lethal unfortunate accidents… which I’ll never forget…
What if we consider radio signal reflections and the changes in the radio environment? Would these interference cause radio difference enough to cause unpredictable issues on the radio perception/safety for human?
