ATTENUATION IN PERCENTAGES<\/span><\/h1>\n
<\/div>\n

The anti radiation products are extensively tested and optimized in the laboratory to provide the highest protection against radiation. To visualize the amount of radiation reduction, a radiation attenuation table is used. The units and concepts decibel (dB), percentages and \u03bcW\/m2 are used.<\/p>\n

DECIBEL<\/span><\/h1>\n
<\/div>\n

The decibel, dB symbol, is not a unit, but a ratio. Decibel is used within radio, microwave and fiber optic communication networks as a convenient measure of absolute power.<\/p>\n

PERCENTAGE AND \u03bcW\/m2<\/span><\/h1>\n
<\/div>\n

The second column of the table shows the percentage of the radiation reduction. In the example in the table we work with a measured radiation of 1000 \u03bcW\/m2. If you want to know the protection percentage of a product, check the dB and follow the table below.<\/p>\n

DETERMINING THE AMOUNT OF ATTENUATION (dB)<\/span><\/h1>\n
<\/div>\n
    \n
  1. Measure your own field strength in \u03bcW\/m2, for example 1000 \u03bcW\/m2<\/li>\n
  2. Determine by what percentage you want to reduce the field strength (see second column in table)<\/li>\n
  3. In the same row, look for the corresponding number in dB<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    Example:<\/strong> If you want to reduce the radiation load from 1000 \u03bcW\/m2 to 0.1 \u03bcW\/m2, you need a radiation resistant product that protects 40 dB. Initial value (\u00a0table value is what remains of it<\/strong>\u00a0)<\/div>\n
