Description
There is little information on the biological effects of millimeter waves (MMW), such as those used in 5th generation (5G) wireless systems and WiGig (IEEE 802.11ad), on the human body. In our previous pilot study, we designed a system to broadly expose the human back to a 28 GHz plane wave, monitored skin temperature during exposure, and found that the exposure induced changes in both back skin temperature and blood flow. The aim of this study was to investigate whether there are differences in the time course of temperature increase between males and females during 28 GHz quasi-MMW exposure.
