The exposure setup presented is intended for a controlled, long-term and continuous exposition (20 Months, 24 h/day) of a large number of animals (100 rats at minimum) with standard GSM and UMTS signals, at 900 MHz and 1966 MHz, respectively. To obtain a homogeneous field within a large volume, the setup is based on the ‘compact range’ principle well known from antenna measurement facilities to produce a plane wave at relatively short ranges from the reflector. All requirements imposed due to the in vivo nature of the experiment, i.e. air-conditioning and easy access to the cages can be fulfilled.
