Abstract
An exposure survey of civilian
airport radar workers within Australia
have been carried out over a two year period beginning late 1983. This paper describes
the survey equipment, measurement procedures, radar characteristics and
survey results. It was found that, unless working on open waveguide and/or
components utilizing waveguide slots, or within transmitter cabinets when
high voltage arcing was occurring, personnel were, in general, not exposed to
levels of radiation exceeding the specified limits in the recently published
Australian radio frequency exposure standard. Recommended changes to work
procedures as a result of the survey are also discussed.
