rf Issues - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

I have a rf generator 13.54 Mhz and relatively high power levels.
These units are made of metal and seem to be rf leak free. Still I am not convinced. There is five individual units on one machine in close proximity to each other. Any ideas on measurement, shielding, or safety would be appreciated. Also there are DC magnet fields too.

why are you concerned? Are you hooking wires from this generator up to your ears or something?

They sell meters to measure the radiation being emmitted. Look on OSHA website for safety limits.

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
