"...the author has done a fine job and produced an up to date, practical, authoritative yet accessible book that is the next best thing to having Ronald Kitchen with you when conducting an RF survey." --Radiation Protection Dosimetry Reviews of the first edition:"For industries where there is an RF radiation hazard, this is a very well written and practical guide to a subject which is quite technically difficult." --Health and Safety at Work"This is a good practical book for anyone involved in RF safety work. There are many useful references and illustrations." --Electrotechnology
The leading professional guide to RF and microwave safety issues. A practical handbook for all involved in electronic design and safety assessment, RF and Microwave Radiation Safety covers the problems of RF safety management, including the use of measuring instruments and methods, radiation hazards and risks resulting from electromagnetic interference, as well as reviewing current safety standards and the implications for RF design. The second edition takes into account a wide range of technical and legislative changes, and has been revised in line with the latest EU and international standards. Issues raised by increasing levels of microwave pollution from mobile phones and other sources are also confronted. New material covers:
