Threat
Precaution
Exposure of personnel to high RF fields
produced by an antenna connected to
the output of the amplifier
Ensure that the antenna is inside a
screened enclosure and fit an interlock
to the entry door to prevent access
while the amplifier is operating
RF burns caused by contact with the
antenna connected to the output of
the amplifier
Ensure that the antenna is inside a
screened enclosure and fit an interlock
to the entry door to prevent access
while the amplifier is operating
Amplifier self oscillation caused by
feedback from un-terminated con-
nectors
This is an unlikely but theoretical
possibility. Always ensure that the
amplifier input is terminated either
by the system signal generator or by
a suitable RF load/attenuator before
switching the amplifier on.
Arcing due to high RF voltages present
at the output connector
Always ensure that the output of the
amplifier is terminated either by the
system antenna or a suitable high
power RF load or attenuator.
