Joint Research Team Demonstrates

Passive Exposure Effects of Microwave Reflection

 

A joint research team proved that microwave intensity can be enhanced from a few hundred to a thousand times of its normal level by metallic reflection when used in the place surrounded by metallic walls.

@

The team consisted of Tohoku University, Ritsumeikan University and Sendai National College of Technology.

@

This achievement is essential in evaluating effects of exposure on our health and electronic medical equipment by the use of wireless devices, those including mobile phones in public areas such as elevators, airplanes, buses and trains.

Snapshot of spatial distribution of intensity in elevator model, obtained using HFSS.  The door of the elevator, whose area is specified by X=1.5, Y:[-0.45, 0.45] and Z:[0, 1.3], is kept fully open. Movie file(Quick Time) is available here.

@

Snapshot of spatial distribution of intensity in the case without reflection. Parameters are the same as those for the elevator model, except for the boundary condition.              Movie file(Quick Time) is available here.

The study findings were published in a research paper titled gPassive Exposure to Mobile Phones: Enhancement of Intensity by Reflectionh on The Journal of the Physical Society of Japan website.
