The instrument consists of an electrically-small dipole, loop probes and recording electronics. The dipole and loop are attached to the safety helmet; their distance from the head is approximately 7 cm. The dipole and loop respond to the tangential E field and radial H field, respectively. The error due to body proximity and one-dimensionality is 1 to 2 dB at 100 MHz and 2 to 3 dB at 200 MHz (for average power density measurements) if the probes move continuously and the measurement period is sufficiently long. Measurements in Finnish FM/TV towers showed that the average power density inside the tower increases with increasing power and decreasing antenna surface area. The highest levels have been found near UHF and FM antennas. For the FM band (100 MHz) the average H field exposures exceed the new ANSI standard value 10 W/m2, but remain in most cases below 100 W/m2. Local maxima may exceed 300 W/m2.</p>","PeriodicalId":76653,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of microwave power","volume":"19 3","pages":"159-72"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1984-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/16070658.1984.11689363","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"17625161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With this insight, we next calculated power absorption profiles of some linear electric dipole antenna arrays. From these results we developed a simpler method of optimizing the antenna parameters by calculating their field pattern in an infinite water medium, which does not require the PWS method and is therefore faster and cheaper. Using this technique, we found an antenna array with reasonably practical parameters that produces an appealing calculated power absorption profile. We also made some calculations based on a simple approximate model that indicate that a three-element dipole array on the front of a patient and a similar one on the back could produce deep central heating.
