Thermal Response Model to microwave exposure

Our paper was accepted in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health. The motivation of this work was adverse human health effects caused by exposure to electromagnetic field. This is due to the rapid development of wireless technologies at higher frequencies. A thermophysiological model was implemented to investigate microwave-induced temperature elevation factor. This model accounts parameters extracted from experimental measured during localized exposure at frequencies exceeding 6 GHz for the first time. The parameters are related to regional cerebral blood flow, and the experiments were conducted in rats using customized antennas to reach those frequencies with localized exposure.

The figure in the left shows the monopole-fed antenna for 6 and 10 GHz exposure used in the experiments. The figure in the right illustrates the temperature elevation computed by the model and experimental measurements. Please check more details in the publication.
