Shielding Effectiveness Measurements Applied to Safety Assessment Predictions at Picatinny Arsenal

Abstract

Shielding effectiveness for a screened work area in building 3208 of the Picatinny Arsenal has been measured using techniques and processes defined in MIL-STD 188-125-1. The measured frequency ranges go beyond the MIL-STD 10 MHz to 1 GHz, to include the frequency range of 1 to 10 GHz. The results of the measurements show that attenuation factors provided in the current configuration are sufficient to provide acceptable environmental and safety protection from high-power RF impulse sources radiated from within.
