Numerical and experimental approaches to millimeter-wave dosimetry for in vitro experiments

The main purpose of this paper is to provide numerical and experimental dosimetry data for in vitro bioelectromagnetic experiments at millimeter waves. Numerical field-based and experimental temperature-based approaches were implemented in order to determine the average specific absorption rate (SAR) values in typical biological samples commonly used in bioelectromagnetic studies. It was shown that for frequencies ranging from 42 to 64 GHz and for an incident power density of 1 mW/cm² the average SAR within a cell monolayer located in a 24-well tissue culture plate is in the range of 13-15 W/kg.
