Abstract

Overview

The growing concerns over the harmful impacts of non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation, particularly from mobile phones on organisms including humans, have fueled significant research. This paper elaborates on the technical methodologies used to study these effects.

Findings

  • Focus on in vivo and in vitro laboratory methods of investigation.
  • Importance of well-defined dosimetry in setting up experiments.
  • Discussion on Software Defined Radio (SDR) as a precise source of radiation setup.

Detailed Methodological Recommendations:

Meticulous description and settings for dosimetry to ensure repeatability and reliability of laboratory tests.

  • Use of SDR for generating high-frequency signals with control over all relevant parameters.
  • Highlight on the necessity of a standardized antenna adapter for consistent results.
  • Potential for interoperable lab scenarios to enhance reproducibility across studies.

Conclusion

The paper emphasizes the variation in the effects of radiofrequency radiation under different experimental setups and the need for precise methodologies. SDR is promoted as a fundamental tool for creating realistic and controlled radiation scenarios conducive to solid experimental outcomes. The study underlines the interdisciplinary nature of this research and calls for collaborative efforts for future advancements.

Key recommendations provided are poised to refine research quality and substantiate findings in this domain.
