ANALYSIS OF THE ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD IN A CONTROLLED ENCLOSURE FOR BIOLOGICAL DOSIMETRY PART 2. ANALYSIS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD WORKING CONDITIONS

摘要

The work presented here is the continuation of the paper with the same title. Part 1 -Design and Validation of the Numerical Model, published in a previous issue of the journal [1], which includes the numerical model and its validation by numerical simulation and experiment. Some characteristics of the enclosure under investigation, the so called TEM-cell, used for controlled exposure of biological material to electromagnetic field (EMF) are also determined, with the aim of assessing the uniformity of the electric field in the region where the analyzed sample is exposed to microwaves (MW) or radiofrequency (RF) waves. Part 2 of the paper reports some results obtained by simulation with the finite element method (FEM); it presents the evaluation of some relevant dosimetric quantities relative to the exposed biological material, and investigates the stability of the exposure conditions at small variations of the EMF frequency.
