A Microwave Dosimetry System for Measured Sampled Integral-Dose Rate

An interface has been developed to allow the measurement of sampled integral-dose rate, defined as the change in integral dose during a particular time interval divided by that interval, absorbed by test animals as they are exposed in a waveguide to 2450-MHz CW microwave energy. The purpose of this investigation is to quantify the variations in sampled integral-dose rate as a result of the animal movements and to compare different irradiation procedures with respect to variations in sampled integral-dose rate.
