This computational study modeled electromagnetic exposure for military personnel near vehicular communication antennas across HF, VHF, and UHF scenarios. All simulated configurations reportedly met ICNIRP Basic Restrictions, though some exceeded ICNIRP Reference Levels in certain positioning and frequency…

Jan 1, 2025
This exposure-assessment study uses FDTD simulations to evaluate auto-induced downlink RF-EMF exposure at 3.5 GHz when downlink energy is focused toward user equipment near the head. Exposure varied substantially by device position (ear, eyes, nose) and by the precoding technique used. The authors report that the…

This paper analyzes how conservative current localized RF EMF SAR basic restrictions may be by estimating the implied safety factor. The authors derive thermal dose–functional SAR limits from literature-reported thresholds for acute local tissue damage and compare these to existing basic restrictions. They report…

Jan 1, 2012
This study investigates instrumentation and procedures to assess electromagnetic exposure from compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) by measuring both incident and induced fields in the 10 kHz–1 MHz range. For some CFLs, incident electric fields exceeded ICNIRP reference levels at close distances, but induced fields were…
