Radiation Hazard/Human Exposure Modelling

In any system design that involves radio frequency (RF) transmitters, protection against the dangers of extremely high levels of radiation is a large concern. There are the dangers of overexposure for humans in the general public, and there are dangers of accidental ignition of highly combustible liquids or ordinance in military environments. To help to ensure safe levels of radiation, various standards and guidelines are put in place and enforced around the world. In addition, FEKO has hybridization for various simulation methods that make it a tool for investigating radiation hazards. Download the application note for more on the guidelines in place for radiation safety, and examples of radiation reference levels and cases with absolute restrictions.
