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. The aim of this study was to determine whether wide-area exposure to 28 GHz quasi-MMW on the back skin of human volunteers induces warm sensation and to identify the threshold for its occurrence.
