Title American national standard techniques and instrumentation for the measurement of potentially hazardous electromagnetic radiation at microwave frequencies.
Bibliographic information ANSI C95.3-1973, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 345 East 47th Street, New York, N.Y.10017, USA, 1973. Approved 1 Sep. 1972. 36 p. Illus. 20 ref. Price: US-$5.00.
Abstract This standard defines the nature of potentially hazardous radiation fields, the characteristics of radiation sources and the factors determining the radiation environment. It provides information on the theoretical calculation of expected power-density levels and lays down procedures and equipment requirements for power-density measurements; safety precautions to be observed during measurement procedures are also detailed. Specific data are given on the electrical and physical characteristics of measurement instruments and on their calibration; protective clothing against microwave energy is also described. Appendices deal with the calculation and measurement of on-axis power density.
