Near Field vs. Far Field
Near field– Close to source relative to its size
and wavelength– Need to measure E field and H field
separately – Inverse square law does not apply– Significant spatial variability– Can be subdivided into radiating and
non-radiating near field regionsContinued 23

Near Field vs. Far Field
Far field– Distance far from the antenna
relative to its size and wavelength– Assume antenna is a point source– Inverse square law applies– E, H, or PD can be measured
because they are interchangeable

Current Exposure Guidelines
American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) has a Threshold Limit Value (TLV)Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) publishes a Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) Limit Both are based on limiting Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) below 0.4 W/kg

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
The specific absorption rate is defined as the rate of energy deposition per unit mass, W/kg Defines absorbed energy doseAnalogous to a biomarker of chemical exposure

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
SARs less than 0.4 W/kg are considered protective for thermal effects– This level incorporates a ten-fold
safety factor

Absorption envelope– SAR is frequency dependent– Three exposure regions
1. Sub-resonant range2. Whole-body resonant range3. Surface heating range
– Body absorbs RF/MW differently at different frequencies

Six-minute averaging time generally used for exposure limitsBased on cooling time constants derived from animal experimentsLonger exposures can be compensated for by the body’s thermoregulatory mechanisms
