Abstract
This paper presents a new layer of absorber for RF Shielded Hat. The objective of this studied is to create and develop a new layer of absorber for RF Shielded Hat made from Microwave Absorbing Sheet that can protect the cameraman from electromagnetic field (EMF). The Microwave Absorbing Sheet is used because of super light weight, good microwave shielding, high absorption and no problem for skin contact. Three different types of protective hat are chosen: back of the hat with no protection to allow adjustment of size, rear hat that covers the neck and hat that covers head and thyroid region. All hats are sewn with microwave absorber sheet. The investigation was aimed to study whether the types of hat worn reduce the electromagnetic exposure to human head. The measurement campaign was carried out in the anechoic chamber to completely absorb reflections of either sound or electromagnetic waves. The wireless video camera operated in frequency of 1.9 GHz to 2.7 GHz. The position of the wireless video camera was fixed on the right of the cameraman shoulder where this position is much closer to our heads. The experiment will be investigated in two different situations, while being exposed in the sham condition and also 2.45 GHz signal. Both of the measurement will be undertaken during the pre, during and after the experiments.
