Review of Exposure Assessment for Handheld Mobile Communications, Devices and Antenna Studies for Optimized Performance

Michael Burkhardt and Niels Kuster, “Review of exposure assessment for handheld mobile communications, devices and antenna studies for optimized performance,” in Review of Radio Science 1996-1999, W.R. Stone, Ed., Oxford University Press, 1999, ISBN: 978-0-7803-6003-7, 1004pp.

“The purpose of this book is to further communication and understanding of the status and future of radio science, both for those working in the field, and for those who want to know what is of current importance in this area. The International Union of Radio Science, URSI (Union Radio-Scientifique Internationale), has divided the subject of "Radio Science" according to the ten topics of the Commissions that make up URSI:
* Electromagnetic metrology
* Fields and waves
* Signals and systems
* Electronics and photonics
* Radio astronomy
* Electromagnetic noise and interference
* Wave propagation and remote sensing
* Ionospheric radio and propagation
* Waves in plasmas
* Electromagnetics in biology and medicine

This book consists of 37 original, peer-reviewed papers. The topics, authors, and reviewers were selected by the URSI Commissions. Each paper provides a critical, in-depth review of and, in many cases, tutorial on advances and research that have been of significant importance within the area of interest of the Commissions during the past three to four years. Among the 37 topics covered are the following:
* Two-way satellite time and frequency transfer
* Handset antennas for mobile communications
* Wireless ATM networks
* Ultra-high-bit-rate optical communication systems
* Modeling techniques for EMC analysis
* Mobile, terrestrial, and satellite propagation modeling
* GPS and the ionosphere
* Radio-frequency sounders in space
* The early radio universe
* Exposure assessment for handheld mobile communications devices.”
