RF Shielded Hat for Protecting Cameraman from EMF Exposure

Read original source →

The paper describes the development of RF-shielded hats using a microwave absorbing sheet intended to reduce EMF exposure to a cameraman’s head. Three hat designs are described, and measurements are planned/performed in an anechoic chamber using a wireless video camera operating around 1.9–2.7 GHz, including a 2.45 GHz signal condition and a sham condition. The abstract does not report quantitative results on whether exposure was reduced.

Key points

  • The study aims to develop an absorber layer for an RF shielded hat using a microwave absorbing sheet.
  • Three hat configurations are described, including versions covering the neck and the head/thyroid region.
  • Testing is conducted in an anechoic chamber to minimize reflections.
  • The RF source is a wireless video camera positioned near the head (right shoulder).
  • Two conditions are mentioned: sham exposure and a 2.45 GHz signal exposure.
  • Measurements are described as occurring pre-, during, and post-experiment, but outcomes are not reported in the abstract.
