I was asked to recommend some method, such as wire mesh goggles, to protect a test technicians eyeballs from high power microwave energy that might be released into a lab during product testing.
I am not having much luck finding such things. I have found FULL BODY SUITS for RF protection, as in a tower climber might use when climbing an antenna tower with operating radiating sources. But that would be a little hard to suggest to wear all day long in a lab where there just MIGHT be an unintentional RF radiation release.
Does anyone know of any goggles or face shield type of thing a tech can put on their head before turning on a high power microwave source.
Frequency of interest is either 915 or 2450 MHz.
There will be RF power measuring alarms nearby, so i only need something to protect for say one minute as the tech deactivates the device under test.
Expected power density at eye level in an unexpected RF leak: 10 mw/cm2 to perhaps 1000 mw/cm2
