Modeling of Wave Propagation from a 5GHz Wi-Fi Router in the Experiment of an Electromagnetic Field on Biological Objects Effect Study

The study of the impact of electromagnetic pollution on the environment and living organisms is relevant in the context of the increasing role of 5GHz technologies. The aim of this work is to study the characteristics of the Wi-Fi router electromagnetic field placed in a Faraday cage. The Faraday cage in this experiment is used as a construction that isolates biological objects from an external electromagnetic field. The electromagnetic field was modeled using the ANSYS and COMSOL Multiphysics software packages. The mathematical basis for constructing the electromagnetic field was the finite element method. The simulation results were verified experimentally on a stand to determine the electromagnetic field in a Faraday cage. This experimental stand was later used in a biological study of the influence of man-made effects from the electromagnetic field created by microwave devices on biological objects at the Pavlov Institute of Physiology, Russian Academy of Sciences. The results of the numerical and experimental study became the basis for determining the location of biological objects in the Faraday cage.
