Abstract

A near-field millimeter-wave exposure system configuration allowing cell culture exposures at 60 GHz is proposed and characterized. The design was optimized to obtain relatively homogeneous distribution of the specific absorption rate (SAR) within the cell layer for the incident power densities ranging from 0 up to 67 mW/cm² for the input power of 500 mW. Averaged over the cell monolayer volume SAR is computed and the results are provided as a function of the input power. This exposure system will be used in in vitro experiments to determine power thresholds corresponding to the functional modifications in the human cell.
