Assessment of electromagnetic radiation exposure of embarked personnel on Romanian naval ships

The issue of electromagnetic compatibility and bioelectromagnetic compatibility is critical onboard ships, especially on naval ships, characterized by a large number of antennas transmitting in various frequency range, and placed in a small area. The paper presents some measurements performed on a Romania naval ship, in order to determine whether the personnel onboard is exposed to dangerous electromagnetic radiations. There were considered several high traffic areas on the ship, and measurements were performed in two frequency ranges: 80-200 MHz and 200-2500 MHz, respectively. The results represent measurements of the far-field of antennas. Compared to the electric field strength limits for controlled environments imposed by European regulations, the measured values were definitely lower.
