Distance between exposed object and exposure source
30 cm
Chamber
A closed anechoic chamber made of foam absorbers mounted on a wooden framework was built around the bed which was free of metal. All instruments were located outside.
Setup
The EMF was produced by an array of three λ/2-dipoleantennas oriented vertically and placed 30 cm apart on a horizontal axis perpendicular to the body axis and 30 cm away from the top of the head. The antenna spacing was optimized for an almost uniform field distribution in the area where the head was placed during sleep.
