Noun
An electromagnetic wave with a wavelength
in the range 0.0010.3 m. Microwaves are
used in radar, in communications, and for
heating.
Verb
Cook (food) in a microwave oven.

Microwave
microwaves - electromagnetic waves with a
frequency between 1GHz (wavelength 30cm) and
3GHz (wavelength 1mm)
microwaves frequency are further categorized into
frequency bands: L (1-2 GHz), S (2-4 GHz), C (48 GHz), X (8-12 GHz)
receivers need an unobstructed view of the sender
to successfully receive microwaves
microwaves are ideal when large areas need to be
covered and there are no obstacles in the path

1. Explain the types of EMT radiation
hazard.
2. State the radiation hazard limit for public
exposure.
3. Explain the radiation protection to be
practiced.
RADIATION HAZARD
RADIATION HAZARDS
Radiation hazard (RADHAZ) describes the
hazards of electromagnetic radiation to
fuels, electronic hardware, ordnance and
personnel.
General guidelines
Do not energize a transmitter (radar/comm) on an
aircraft or motor vehicle being fueled or on an
adjacent aircraft or vehicle.
Do not make or break any electrical, ground
wire, or tie down connector while fueling.
Radars capable of illuminating fueling areas with
a peak power density of 5 W/cm2 should be shut
off.
For shore stations, antennas radiating 250 watts
or less should be installed at least 50 ft from
fueling areas
General guidelines
For shore stations, antennas radiating 250 watts
or less should be installed at least 50 ft from
fueling areas (at sea 500 watts is the relaxed
requirement).
For antennas which radiate more than 250
watts, the power density at 50 ft from the
fueling operation should not be greater than the
equivalent power density of a 250 watt
transmitter located at 50 ft.
