Jan 1, 2017
This animal study examined whole-body exposure to 2.45 GHz microwave radiation for 2 h/day over 35 days in male Wistar rats. The authors report increased lipid peroxidation (LPO) in liver, brain, and spleen and histological changes across multiple organs compared with sham-exposed controls. They conclude the exposure…

This engineering paper demonstrates an auto-tuning method for a high-sensitivity RF interferometer using a tunable liquid attenuator controlled by liquid volume. The authors report an effective quality factor up to 1×10 at ~5 GHz and a self-calibration/measurement process from 2 to 7.5 GHz using a methanol-water…

Jan 1, 2015
This animal study exposed male Swiss mice to 2.45 GHz continuous-wave microwave radiation for 2 hours/day over 15, 30, or 60 days. The authors report increased hippocampal oxidative/nitrosative stress and increased apoptosis in neuronal and nonneuronal hippocampal subfields. They also report duration-dependent…

Jan 1, 2015
This animal experimental study exposed male Wistar rats to 2.45 GHz Wi-Fi radiation for 1 or 7 hours per day over two months and compared them with unexposed controls. The abstract reports time-dependent decreases in sperm parameters alongside increased apoptotic markers (apoptosis-positive cells and caspase-3…

Jan 1, 2014
The paper describes the development of RF-shielded hats using a microwave absorbing sheet intended to reduce EMF exposure to a cameraman’s head. Three hat designs are described, and measurements are planned/performed in an anechoic chamber using a wireless video camera operating around 1.9–2.7 GHz, including a 2.45…
Electromagnetic radiation (Wi-Fi) and epilepsy induce calcium entry and apoptosis through activation of TRPV1 channel in hippocampus and dorsal root ganglion of rats

Jan 1, 2014
This animal study examined 2.45 GHz Wi-Fi exposure in a PTZ-induced epilepsy rat model using freshly isolated hippocampal and DRG neurons. The authors report that epilepsy increased Ca(2+) influx, oxidative stress markers, and apoptosis-related outcomes, and that Wi-Fi exposure produced additional increases in…
