To: roy@emfguru.com References: <39B0CD63.986FA3AC@emfguru.com> Roy and Leopoldine, I would like to know how Herr Jacob views the presentation about Schwarzenburg that was presented at the Salzburg conference. Does he consider that this presentation was an acuurate portrayal of the events there and the plight of the people? Also, is 0.9 GHz the fequency that was always used there or was ther a lower frequency in the early years? The resaon for this question is the fact that the absorption coefficient in human tissue is about 2.5 times higher at that frequency than it is at, say, 100 MHz. Specifically, at 900 MHz (in the range of cell phone frequencies) the absorption coefficient for brain tissue (grey matter) is about 0.25 / cm. Also, I wonder if Herr Jacob would share with us the measurements that he obtained in several of the "hot spots" where the directionality of the antennas, the terrain and other factors resulted in a concentration of RF energy above what would be expected from a simple source over level terrain. Dr. Neil Cherry's presentation at Salzburg included measurements that he made at Sutro Tower in San Francisco (which has at least 50 antennas on it), and he also observed these hot spots, as well as regions where the radiation appeared to "roll" down the mountain. I made a few informal measurements and also discovered that there were hot spots along residential driveways near the top of Mt. Sutro, near and below the tower. I suspect that our usual belief that, at ultra high frequencies radiation does not follow terrain, is somewhat incorrect. Actually, Sommerfeld's treatment of ground waves (published during 1909-1925) does not forbid the occurrence of a ground wave at high frequency, but its intensity is diminished relative to that of the sky wave. When you are close to the transmitter, the near field effects are really more complicated than our conventional beliefs, and only a complicated computer calculation that takes into account terrain variation can do the job. Such a code was developed by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory over a period of many years for the U.S. Navy to analyze the complex electromagnetic environment aboard a warship. This code is called NEC (Numerical Electromagnetics Calculation), and it exists in various commercial forms that can be run on PC's. I have a version called MININEC that uses simpler boundary conditions (Fresnel coefficients) than those used in NEC (Norton-Sommerfeld). This means that MININEC can handle the fields that are farther away from a boundary surface than about 0.2 wavelength, but NEC is required to make calculations closer to the surface than 0.2 wavelength. At 0.9 GHz, the wavelength is about 33 cm, so a calculation using Fresnel coefficients would be sufficient to determine the fields where people live. Even so, such problems have to be greatly simplified to be tractable. A computer code that could handle completely three dimensional terrain would be required. Nevertheless, I wonder whether any attempt was ever made to use such a code to estimate the radiation environment around Schwarzenburg.
