Accuracy Limitation in Measurements of HF Field Intensities for Protection against Radiation Hazards

The desired measurement accuracy; the relationships between field intensity, absorbed power, and hazards; and the usefulness of E and H field intensity measurements are discussed. Measurement accuracy versus the dimensions of the E-field antenna; measurement accuracy versus the capacitive coupling of the antenna with its surroundings; and measurement accuracy versus instrument calibration accuracy are all considered. A block diagram and the basic parameters of a universal measuring instrument now under development are included.
