Radio Safety
We will now look into each one by one.

The following are some rules that are to be followed to ensure a quality and safe working:
* '''Ensure all the equipment are grounded:''' This is done to ensure that there is no development of static charges or development of any other charges which might lead to harming the device or giving an electric shock.
* '''Avoid all metal jewelry'''

RF safety is one of the most important yet one of the most neglected safety protocols. Negligence of this form of safety measures can lead to radiation burns harming personal health at a level equivalent to fire burns when it comes to working at the ground station. Some of the safety measures suggested are as follows:
* '''No person should be in the near field region when antenna is transmitting:''' There are 2 major reasons for this. First, being in that region during high power transmission can cause severe radio burns. Second, presence of anyone close to the antenna can affect the radiation pattern of the transmitting antenna.
The above 2 forms of safety are essential for anyone who will work in the field of communications. The above list may not be sufficient but covers all the major things necessary to keep in mind before working with relevant electronics. <br \>
When working with satellite electronics, it important is to work in a clean room. A clean room is a place which provides the best quality environment where one can work with satellite electronics, build circuit with minimal damage due to dust and other unknown disturbances. The specifications of the clean room can vary as per the requirement of the electronics of the design. <br \>
