Abstract
A radiation detection device for locally detecting radiation of RF energy emissions from close proximity direct line-of-sight electromagnetic fields emitted by a wireless transmit/receive electronic equipment antenna 22 or body 21 such as a cellular telephone, in miniature/planar design form with suitable embedding form-factoring fashioned arrangement capability joined with radiation shielding devices comprising of EMI/RFI material properties in reflecting or deflecting or absorbing or attenuating of electromagnetic fields disposed on the radiation shielding devices effective shielding surface area. The effective shielding surface area is predetermined by the prescribed radiation shielding arrangement dimensions, the direct line-of-sight electromagnetic fields emission behavior and the location placement of the radiation shielding device between the user local human body sensitive tissue area and the wireless transmit/receive electronic equipment antenna 22 or chassis body 21. Said radiation detection device operates without prerequisite need for a battery or external power source, operationally self-powered by the embodiments of this invention when exposed to electromagnetic field radiation of predetermined thresholding energy level setting for the user'"'"'s own personal alerting verification and assessment means of suitable predetermined radiation detection measurement tester coupling to radiation shielding devices to encompass an overall shield effectiveness system solution in real-time monitoring response fashion operation. Said radiation shielding devices that would benefit from the coupling to this invention comprises RF shielded wearable garments including and not limited to a hat, RF shielded eyewear articles, RF shielded wearable wrap-around type articles, RF shielded electronic equipment carrying pouches or cases, RF shielded upwardly fan structure arrangement, RF shielded foldable or fixed fan structure arrangement, RF shielded internally pop-up fan mechanism, and RF shielded screen structure arrangement.
