The Radiation Hazards (RAD HAZ) Program on the Formulation of Standards

The over-all approach taken in the preparation of RF radiation hazard standards and some basic studies in the areas of RF measurement instrumentation are treated in generalities. Specific problems which need to be investigated before final standards can be formulated are delineated. Emphasis is placed on the evolution and composition of radiation hazard standards, RF radiation instrumentation, electromagnetic wave propagation in the "near field" and RF field intensity sensors. Sensor investigations discussed cover the Hall effect and the pearl chain phenomenon.
