title: Whole-body microwave dosimetry based on a single, gradient-layer calorimeter.
abstract: A simple, cost-effective, and accurate technique to measure the whole-body-averaged specific absorption rate (SAR) in Sprague-Dawley rat carcasses by a single-gradient-layer calorimeter is described. The results of SAR determinations showed a highly linear relation between the average power density of the incident field (1.25 GHz) and the normalized heat loading of the carcasses.
