Biophysics Limits on the Biological Effects of Ultrawideband Electromagnetic Radiation

Abstract

Very large amplitude pulsed fields are important in many technical applications. Accordingly, the biological effects of such fields is of considerable practical interest. Even as many parameters are required to describe such pulsed fields, the set of such fields that are different in important ways is large and it is impractical to examine the biological effects of the whole set experimentally. Hence, we examine a representive set of such pulses in some detail with the view that the analyses of these pulses will provide a useful overview to the consideration of most specific pulses.
