Personal Distributed Exposimeter for Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Field Assessment
نویسندگان
چکیده
A personal distributed exposimeter (PDE) consisting of 3 radio frequency (RF) acquisition nodes is constructed using textile antennas and wearable electronics. Numerical simulations are used to design the PDE. Calibration measurements at 950 MHz, using a human subject, are performed in an anechoic chamber. Compared to conventional exposimeters, which only measure in 1 position on the body, an excellent 95% confidence interval of 7 dB on measured power (densities) and isotropy of 0.5 dB are measured.

On-body calibration and measurements using a personal, distributed exposimeter for wireless fidelity.
This paper describes the design, calibration, and measurements with a personal, distributed exposimeter (PDE) for the on-body detection of radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic fields due to Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) networks. Numerical simulations show that using a combination of two RF nodes placed on the front and back of the body reduces the 50% prediction interval (PI50) on the incident free...
متن کاملThe Role of the Location of Personal Exposimeters on the Human Body in Their Use for Assessing Exposure to the Electromagnetic Field in the Radiofrequency Range 98–2450 MHz and Compliance Analysis: Evaluation by Virtual Measurements
The use of radiofrequency (98-2450 MHz range) personal exposimeters to measure the electric field (E-field) in far-field exposure conditions was modelled numerically using human body model Gustav and finite integration technique software. Calculations with 256 models of exposure scenarios show that the human body has a significant influence on the results of measurements using a single body-wor...

This paper describes, for the first time, the procedure for the full design, calibration, uncertainty analysis, and practical application of a personal, distributed exposimeter (PDE) for the detection of personal exposure in the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) downlink (DL) band around 900 MHz (GSM 900 DL). The PDE is a sensor that consists of several body-worn antennas. The on-bo...
متن کاملResponse to comments by Beekhuizen et al. on "exposure assessment of mobile phone base station radiation in an outdoor environment using sequential surrogate modeling".
Human exposure to background radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) has been increasing with the introduction of new technologies. There is a definite need for the quantification of RF-EMF exposure but a robust exposure assessment is not yet possible, mainly due to the lack of a fast and efficient measurement procedure. In this article, a new procedure is proposed for accurately mapping...
متن کاملThe Effects of Extremely Low Frequency Pulsed Electromagnetic Field on Collagen Synthesis of Rat Skin: a Biochemical and Histoligical Approach
The efficacious effects of pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) under the certain field parameters like frequency and the field intensity have been reported for various tissue and molecules. Since collagen is found abundantly in most tissue structures, this research was designed to further investigate the effects of extremely low frequency (ELF) PEMF on the synthesis of the epidermal collagen. ...
