Environmentally Controlled Waveguide Irradiation Facility (Short Papers)

Research has shown that the determination of absorbed microwave energy as well as the control of environmental parameters are important in relating biological-effect data to, radiation protection. This short paper describes the development of an environmentally controlled waveguide irradiation facility for the exposure of small animals to 2450-MHz CW microwave energy. Integral dose rate is determined without perturbing the microwave field interacting with the irradiated animal.
