Abstract | Selected satellite communication (SATCOM) systems are evaluated analytically and, for some of these systems, through measurement of the microwave radiation power densities generated by them. The evaluation is directed toward assessing the radiation exposure hazards which exist for specific systems and generally for SATCOM systems as a class of high power nonionizing radiation source. The paper includes determinations of anticipated maximum power density levels as functions of distance from the source, a description of the analytical method used, and the results of measurements of the power densities produced by certain SATCOM systems. Included also is a discussion of potential hazard analysis and its uses in identifying systems which may constitute environmental hazards. |
