Abstract

Overview

The study investigates the characteristics and stationarity of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) generated by Wi-Fi devices to understand their biological impact. With the rising use of wireless technologies, concerns over the continuous exposure to radiofrequency EMFs have increased, prompting this research.

Findings

• A variety of statistical methodologies were employed to analyze Wi-Fi signals from different operating modes, focusing particularly on video streaming.
• The research findings pointed out that the Wi-Fi signals examined show lack of stationarity in both time and frequency domains.
• It is feasible to generate signals that faithfully replicate real-life Wi-Fi emissions, with special consideration to the inherent nonstationarity.

Conclusion

The study emphasizes the biological impacts of nonstationary EMFs, indicating that their dynamic nature can limit an organism's adaptability. Recognizing the implications for health, it proposes methods to simulate realistic Wi-Fi signals for experimental purposes, thereby enhancing the quality of biological EMF research.
