This engineering study evaluates a nanoantenna design that combines concentric gold rings with a directivity-enhanced Raman scattering structure. Using finite-difference time-domain simulations and SERS measurements on fabricated devices with thiophenol, the authors report stronger electric field enhancement,…
Assessment and comparison of total RF-EMF exposure in femtocell and macrocell base station scenarios.
Research
RF Safe Research Library
Jan 1, 2014
This study assessed and compared total RF-EMF exposure for a mobile-phone user in an office environment when connected to an indoor femtocell base station versus a conventional macrocell base station. Using a framework that combines near-field and far-field exposure, the authors report a 20–40× reduction in total…
