Demodulation in tissue, the relevant parameters and the implications for limiting exposure review

Endpoint

• effects on the neurological system: excitation of nerves
• implants/medical devices: interaction with and demodulation in electronic implants (cardiac pacemakers)
• microwave hearing; demodulation in cell membranes; effects on muscles (EMG); thermal effects

Exposure

• • RF field
  • microwaves
• • AM amplitude modulation
  • PW pulsed wave
  • mobile communications
  • digital mobile phone
