The Microwave Stimulus,
Abstract
A review of the physical aspects of microwave systems for study of the effects of microwave exposure or sensation is presented. It is pointed out that aspects of low-frequency electricity and optical radiant heating both play a role within the microwave range in sensation phenomena. Resonant absorption and penetration in the microwave range will possibly produce unique sensations. A review of sources and the engineering aspects of closed exposure systems reveals a host of potential artifacts that need to be isolated and controlled in experiments involving exposure of biological targets. Temporal variations and local concentrations of microwave energy will play a prominent role in sensation phenomena, both in the laboratory and in real life.
