CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
Radio Frequency (RF) has been applied over past decade in many application systems and its emerging technology in this modern world [1]. The RF is allocated at the rage of 3kHz to 300GHz spectrum bandwidth. By history, the application of RF is not only in telecommunication and broadcasting field, but it tremendously increase in various fields such as in an industries, science and medical field. Thus, RF radiation expose in an environmental is possible. Radio Frequency (RF) radiation or Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) is a form of energy exists in wave form which travels through free space [10].

Biopharmaceuticals define as pharmaceuticals biological in nature and manufactured using biotechnology. Mean while drugs comprise the other major subset of pharmaceuticals, with their source and manufacture being chemical in nature [11]. The purpose of analyzing the RF radiation exposure on biological pharmaceuticals for RF application is to study on RF radiation, analyzed the characterized of RF radiation exposure and experimental the implication of RF radiation on biological pharmaceuticals for RF application.
The methods to conduct this project need lots of literature review based on past studies and experimental which have been conducted, and required a well understanding and knowledge in RF radiation on biological pharmaceuticals for RF application. Then, continue with the test setup which needs to generate and radiate the high power RF signal at different frequency inside temperature and light sensitivity controlled dark anechoic chamber which the product is exposed to RF radiation. There are five common frequencies specified using eight Watts of the Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) to generate RF radiation with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) guide line. Then it is exposure for twenty four hours continuously to test on pharmaceutical compound that use as a medicinal drug product under three main protein groups accordingly. All the experiment results are recorded and this information will use in analyzing and investigation the effect on purity and potential stable integrity went RF radiation exposure on biological pharmaceuticals for RF application. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) at United States is responsible for protect and promoting public health by regulation and supervision on food safety, dietary supplements, medications, vaccines, biopharmaceuticals, electromagnetic radiation devices and many more. The Centre for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) is one of branch under United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) where it responsible on premarket approval of medicine device and overseeing manufacturing, performance and safety of devices. The CDRH also responsible for the radiation safety performance of non medical devices which emit certain range electromagnetic radiation. FDA not allows drugs covered

under Biologics License Application (BLA) and New Drug Application (NDA) [2]. Mean while, have a lots of encourage future research involve RF application such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) due to insufficient information about potential impact of RF on biologics. The RF application used to track and trace on number or code, and maintain supply chain visibility of products.
By history, the RFID system is replacing the bar code technology which has been using past years [6]. The type of bar codes system in RFID is effective which applied the Universal Product Code (UPC) for unique individual items compare to the Electronic Product Code (EPC) for unique to product. The RFID system gets the information from ID and dates which provide more information in real time and sensor temperature sensitive products entirely. The information is valuable in term of product shipment and the product in market based on current real time e-pedigree which can prevent missed used or food and drugs. The RF radiation can analyze in term of temperature and frequency combination. The thermal effect arise from noticeable change in temperature which comparable to conventional heating. The product heating factors may due to frequency of EM source, dielectric constant, content of water and the thickness of products [3,7]. The product and substance greater in conductivity absorb greater amount of radiation which turn generates more heat. Studies have shown that environmental levels of RF energy routinely encountered by the general public are far below levels necessary to produce significant heating and increased body temperature [29 -34].
By that, the test carried on specified five common RF such as 13.56MHz, 433MHz, 868MHz, 915MHz and 2.4GHz where it is commercial frequency applied in biological pharmaceuticals for RF application [21]. On other hand, the most common pharmaceutical compound manufacture was identify for use as a medicinal drug product under three main protein groups such as Vaccines, Hormones and Immunoglobulin. According to five different frequency with using eight Watts of the equivalent isotropic radiated power (EIRP) is used to exposed RF radiation to test the three main protein groups as plan for twenty four hours continuously. The EIRP is used in experiment is

twice than Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approved for RF application. A standard was adopted by the FCC for protection against any effects of RF radiation in August 1996 [27, 28]. It because, to maximized the analyze experiment test to investigated the effect on purity and potential stable integrity went RF radiation exposure on biological pharmaceuticals for RF application. Direct and indirect effect on central nervous system has been reported by Soviets at level below 10Mw/cm2. [12,13].
The most recent and most intense public concern stems from both the passage of Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968 [14,15], and the increasing sales of Microwave ovens [16]. There is considerable data on hemoglobin solution and whole blood, some data skin, and some interest in cellular effects [17, 18]. Ultraviolet irradiation has been subjected of interest for many years due to the hazarders involved [19, 20].
1.2 Problem Statement
As the time passed, lots of technology and development take placed to provide more convenience environment that suite that generation entirely. Ones of these impacts are in wireless communication system specifically in Radio Frequency (RF) system. The RF application was applied in many fields such as military, hospitality and healthcare, industrial area, transportation and logistics, sports, commercial purpose and so on. Similarly to that, the RF was applied in science and medical especially in biological and pharmaceuticals such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), medical diathermy machines and many more. The problems that I found in RF application in biological and pharmaceuticals such as tables form is, an insufficient data sheets in effects of RF radiation exposure on biological pharmaceuticals for RF application. Based on that reasons, I doing this project to support and provide some data based on my experiment on few biological and pharmaceutical samples.
