Distance between exposed object and exposure source
3 mm
Chamber
Each mouse was placed in an aluminium box that was covered inside with RF absorber (< -21.8 dB at 1.5 GHz) except for the roof and the front door. The front door was a new type of transparent (20 dB) absorber. Forty-eight exposure boxes were used (24 for EMF and 24 for sham exposure).
Setup
The EMF was directed at the mouse skin by an electrically short monopole antenna with capacitive loading, implemented using a circular metal plate (7 mm diameter, 1 mm thick) attached to the tip of a 1/8-wavelength monopole element, and producing highly localized peak SARs. The roof of the box acted as the ground for the antenna. The mouse was held in a ventilated plastic cylinder with a slit at the top allowing a distance of only 3 mm between skin and antenna.
