I. INTRODUCTION
In the recent years, progress in computational and experimental millimeter-wave electronics has identify the millimeter-wave (MmW) frequency band as highly promising for a number of high-resolution and high-speed wireless systems [1]–[6]. In specific, the unlicensed 57–64 GHz band is of strong interest for high data rate Gbps

These antennas have high gain and efficiency but they are not suitable for low-cost commercial devices because they are expensive, heavy and bulky and cannot be integrated with solid-state devices [12]. For the aforementioned reasons, the TSA have been chosen as a strong candidate because of their compromise in terms of size and efficiency. One such type of antenna is Antipodal Linear Tapered Slot antenna (ALTSA). Researchers around the globe have given more attention to ALTSA for its salient performances such as narrow beamwidth, high gain and wide bandwidth [4].
60-GHz band frequencies correspond to molecular groups containing carbon or oxygen. As, these frequencies are used for biomedical purposes, molecular interactions with human body is possible. Potential biological effects of millimeter waves were explained in few theories [15]. From the general public safety viewpoint, it is important to investigate the possible biological effects of low-power communication systems in the 60-GHz band before their wide, near-future deployment within domestic and professional environments.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is a measure to quantify exposure to RF fields. It is commonly used to measure power absorbed from user-operated devices. The SAR value depends on the specific part of the body that is exposed to the RF energy, and on the exact location of the source. SAR testing is therefore performed with a specific
This antenna is designed on FR-4 substrate. It has dielectric constant 4.4 and thickness 1.6 mm. copper material is used for ground plane and patch. We provided microstrip line feeding to this antenna.
Carrie Nevis reviewed a federal government report which was released in May of 2016 from the National Toxicology Program. To date it is the largest study done and while inconclusive and requires more research, it does state there is something going on regarding radio frequency fields. Ms. Nevis suggests we place the cell tower in another location where it will not impact children and community members.
The fig.3 and 4 above is a simulated result showing the red is return loss (S11) and blue is insertion loss (S21) obtained for model. Figure 4 shows the reflection and transmission factor measured for the range 1 GHz to 4GHz. This result gives that the bandpass characteristics are valid for a wide range of EM spectrum for communication. In order to get detailed characteristics in the neighborhood of 2.45 GHz, Figure 4 gives more information needed to the measurement results. With the 3 dB boundary, we get about 260 MHz bandwidth, and insertion loss of -4.3 dB, with parametric dimension as given in Table.1.
additionally, the vinyl polymer vapor within the cavity of the kitchen appliance|microwave|kitchen appliance} is also heated by the high-voltage electrical device round the oven. this might lead to flashing. even though this doesn't happen, the high concentration of the vinyl polymer vapor within the kitchen appliance cavity could result in Associate in Nursing explosion. Another risk is posed by the hardening agent, alkyl group alkyl group organic compound peroxide (MEKP). once interacted with microwaves, with the ensuing reaction, the MEKP may ad lib ignite[34]. Experimental studies show that the exposure to high frequency fields has no cancer result within the sense of initiating a tumour cell, however exposure to high frequency fields could indirectly promote tumour growth or facilitate the absorption of cancer substances into the cell [35,36]. Theoretical approaches to organic chemistry mechanisms of tumour induction initiated by high frequency fields Of interest group is that the lens of the attention, wherever exposure could lead to the assembly of cataracts,[37] and also the generative organs, in this temporary sterility or chronic changes are according in exposures involving analysis animals and
Scientific studies have focused on the question of whether there is a risk of getting brain cancer for those who use mobile phones compared to non-users. Two types of studies are generally used to investigate suspected cancer causes: epidemiological studies, which look at the incidence of a disease in certain groups of people, and animal studies (Phones, Cancers and Brain Tumors - What is the REAL story?). Scientific studies are sometimes difficult to carry out in a way that can determine whether a cause-and-effect relationship exists between a single variable in a person's life (in this case, cell phone use) and the person's disease (brain cancer) (Phones, Cancers and Brain Tumors - What is the REAL story?). Variables that complicate the research in a relationship between brain cancer and cell phones: Cancer takes many years to develop, which makes long-term cell phone effects hard to study. For instance, how can rats and mice be tested and interpreted so it corresponds to the behavior of humans? How can scientists account for the fact that these studies sometimes expose animals to RF almost continuously--up to 22 hours a day--and to whole-body radiation, unlike people's head-only exposure (Phones, Cancers and Brain Tumors - What is the REAL story).
Exposure of the human to radiofrequency( RF) radiation can occur from several sources, including the use of personal devices (mobile phones, cordless phones, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, amateur radios, etc.), occupational sources (high-frequency dielectric and induction heaters, broadcast antennas, high-power pulsed radars, and medical appliances), and environmental sources (mobile phone base stations, broadcast antennae). [1]
We can use li-fi in places where radio waves can cause hazardous interference like flights, hospitals and petrochemical plants etc.
The researchers at the ACRBR or the Australian Centre for Radiofrequency Bioeffects Research, have been researching whether cell phones effect the human body. Professor Andrew Wood, a Swinburne physicist with a long-term interest in biological effects of radiofrequency exposures. He is researching one of the areas where spatial distributions of temperature in the brain from exposure to radiofrequency radiation, using a common dye called Rhodamine B, which changes intensity with small increases in temperature (Nogrady). He used animal subjects, where he injected the dye to measure the energy deposited into tissue from the radiofrequency fields and to look any “hot spots” in the brain (Nogrady). Wood states, “The body is able to regulate against changes in warmth, and so the issue there is whether local heating might take the body beyond its normal range of being able to compensate” (Nogrady). To go off of this research, another research group is using mathematical modeling to explore how radiofrequency radiation is spread
Abstract. The microwave oven is much more than just for cooking foods.

In 1985, the FCC released what is known as the ISM Band for unlicensed use. ISM or Industrial Scientific and Medical Band, is a radio band reserved for all sorts of devices around the world that serve a purpose in the title’s description. The ISM reserved frequencies that are commonly used today such as 902 – 928 MHz or 2.4 – 2.5 GHz for wireless use. Other devices that operate on this frequency such as microwaves, can interfere with the traffic going across the same frequency. 902 – 928 MHz is only unlicensed by what the ITU or International Telecommunications Union refers to as “Region Two”. Region
Considerable work done on analyzing their resonant modes, radiation characteristics, and various feeding schemes has demonstrated that these “new” radiators could offer new and attractive features in antenna design. Many new elements and arrays with attractive characteristics for wireless and other applications have been implemented and descriptions of some of these are included in the literature [1, 3]

Micro strip antennas have been widely used in modern communication systems, because of its robustness, planar profile, and low cost. Most of these antennas operate at their fundamental mode, which gives a broadside beam. Micro strip antenna operating at the higher order mode has dual symmetric radiation beams [2]. It is well known that the major drawback of a micro strip antenna is its narrow bandwidth (3%). One of the popular techniques for broadening the patch antenna bandwidth is to incorporate a U slot on its surface as proposed [5].
Antenna is the main component of every communication system. The design of UWB antennas is one of the major factors affecting the progress of UWB technology. As a result, UWB antenna design has been studied much in recent years. UWB antennas must be electrically small and inexpensive without compromising on performance. Omni directional radiation pattern is desired in order to be well suited for ad hoc networks with arbitrary azimuthally orientations. Gain flaterns and phase linearity, i.e., constant group delay, are also required for an UWB antenna in order to not distort the waveform of an ultra narrow-on the order of nanoseconds-electromagnetic energy pulse. In addition, the time domain impulse response is another important criterion of UWB antenna performance. The antenna must transmit UWB signal with minimal dispersion effect. In this thesis all the antennas have been simulated in ANSOFT HFSS-13. This chapter contains the final design of antennas, the parasitic study of antenna in term of impedance band width. The peak gain, radiation efficiency, peak directivity has been calculated in whole operating band and radiation pattern at some frequencies has been studied. The time domain analysis also has been done in this chapter. The total design of antenna include the two parts- first is the designing on the software and second one is hardware part where the testing of the antenna is done on the Vector Network Analyzer (VNA).
